This urban pop creation sees the coming together of Queensland's carts with Andy Warhol's velvet underground banana, the blues brothers and the bananas in pyjamas. It's a party for the planet!
The early part of his professional career was spent teaching in front of the art classroom and from behind a camera. Cole returned to painting as therapy in 2011 and discovered there was an appreciative audience foe his work, when his first solo show, a fundraiser for the Randwick Children's Hospital, sold out.
Cole has been practicing art full-time since exhibiting in 2013 and over this time has presented more than 20 solo and group exhibitions in commercial and public galleries in Cairns, Townsville, Sydney, Wollongong, and Kiama. The move to Far North Queensland in 2022 has been very successful for Cole. In 2023 he was awarded a solo exhibition at Northsite Contemporary Arts and in June 2024 Cole was selected as a finalist in the Percival's 2024, a National Portrait Prize.
