Original Wall Art by Australian Artist Mlak – Karlee Mackie (unframed)

‘Dumplings Over Flowers’ Unframed Original Wall Art by Australian Artist Mlak – Karlee Mackie ‘Dumplings over flowers’ (Hana yori dango – 花より団子) is a Japanese proverb meaning to prioritize substance over style or practical needs over aesthetic beauty. It suggests that useful things, like food (dango), are more valuable than superficial pleasures, such as viewing flowers. Karlee is an artist based in Byron Bay NSW. The artist approaches painting organically, adapting and evolving to create work that plays with motif in space. Dynamic, youthful and fun, MLAK translates across scale, articulating in an original voice.
