Original Painting by Jacob Yikes
Mixed Media on Canvas with painted timber frame
1045×1045mm
Jacob Yikes is a visual artist and muralist based in Ōtautahi. As a core member of the DTR crew, he has become a leading figure in Aotearoa's urban art movement, transforming walls into gateways of imagination. His murals and studio works fuse ancient mythologies, visionary states, psychedelic motifs, creating narratives that bridge the seen and the unseen.
In early 2025, Yikes completed the tallest mural in New Zealand, a monumental 52 meter high piece created in just three weeks that cemented his place among the country's most influential and sort after street artists. Through both his studio practice and large scale public works, he builds a personal mythos that channels transformation, mystery and light emerging from darkness. Each piece invites the viewer into a visionary state - a journey through time, space and consciousness.
