About Eyeball Kicks

One day we decided to give up our real jobs and fill a room with our favourite things, thus Eyeball Kicks was born.

We call it lowbrow art or pop surrealism and whilst this genre originates largely from the USA, it made it's way to New Zealand shores in the early nineties (though arguably it was already here in the form of punk rock album art and 'alternative' 'zines). We believe the first gallery in New Zealand to offer an alternative to the classic flower-filled vase was Space Your Face during the nineties (the brainchild of the late great Martin F Emond?). There was also Mondo Pop, ex-Australia, which operated in Auckland for a couple of years early 2000.

Eyeball Kicks opened 1st October 2005 and five years on we're still peddling a mix of limited edition, fine art prints, books, magazines, stickers, patches and collectables as well as doing custom picture-framing and print publishing.

We think of "lowbrow" as being punkrock of the art world; punchy, questioning and non-conformist but Mark Ryden sums it up best in Hi Fructose Vol.15 when he says "I think the ability to ride the line of irony, questioning something whilst appreciating it, has a lot to do with what "Lowbrow" is about in general".

Thanks for visiting our website, we hope you stop by the gallery one day, take care,
Calvin, Monique & Cole
