Gérard Maillé is originally from the port of Sète, a lively Mediterranean town in the south of France.

He studied art at the “Académie des Beaux Arts” in France, and from there his artistic pathway evolved.

In 1986 Gérard immigrated to Australia where he continued his artistic career. He studied graphic / commercial art and from there established his own graphic art business.

 

He later established another business called “Art on Walls”, which is his main occupation today.

 

Gerard’s many avenues of study in the art world have allowed him to develop a repertoire of artistic forms including commission paintings, murals and "trompe l'œil", traditional decorative finishes, and restoration of antiques and gilding.

An award winning artist, Gérard's work adorns many of Brisbane's social and leisure precincts.

He is also a well-known illustrator, and specialises in character design, caricature and cartooning.
