On December 3rd contemporary graffiti artist, Adam “Codak” Smith will be painting a mural commissioned by Ironlak inside their Los Angeles
flagship store, and will be filmed while painting for an upcoming promotional piece about the
Australian based aerosol company. In addition, the following weekend he
will be painting a body art piece incorporating a model into the freshly
painted wall. The private, closed live painting session will be photographed in real
time, with images turned into a limited edition print series for Ironlak.

Favoring
both brush and spray paint, Codak is known for his architectural line forms,
intertwined with languid swirls, geometric shapes and an unusual mix of drippy
palettes of color, resulting in a striking piece of contemporary art. Inspired
by his roots as a graffiti artist, these visual descriptions represent a few anomalous
characteristics of the multi-dimensional artist. This will be Codak’s second
installation at this location.
