Monster Mania!
Artist Kris Keogh has transformed the back wall of Casuarina Library with Monster Mania! for City of Darwin as part of the Darwin Street Art Festival 2026.
Packed with playful creatures big and small, this vibrant mural brings colour, curiosity and a touch of mischief to the building. It pairs perfectly with Kris’s 2025 piece on the front wall, Intergalactic Guide to Casuarina, adding even more imaginative, child-friendly energy to the precinct.
City of Darwin are proud to partner with the Darwin Street Art Festival which is funded by the Northern Territory Government.
Meet the Artist
Kris is a musician, painter and digital artist based in multiple locations - Nhulunbuy, Arnhem Land, Darwin and Japan. He has been exhibiting since 2008 and has had several solo shows in both Australia and Japan. He's been on visuals for King Stingray, at the 2023 NRL Grand Final, Parliament House and at every major music festival in Australia. He is influenced by all things kawaii, op art, and Australian Indigenous painters, especially from North-East Arnhem Land and from the Central Desert region. His favourite artist is the late N.Yunupingu. You might know his visual style from his work for Happy Yess, East Arnhem Live, Megabass, Viva La Body, the City of Darwin Funbus, King Stingray and more.
As well as his art making, Kris Keogh has spent over two decades in the Australian electronic music underground, intent on making the most beautiful noise, any way possible. That could mean making hyper-glitched processed harp works under his own name, or making punishing chiptune beats, or by designing his own custom audio processing software using Reaktor.
He’s released on some of Australia’s best DIY labels (Datadoor, New Weird Australia, Provenance) and supported international acts like Senyawa (Indonesia), Oval (Germany), Francisco Lopez (Spain), and even Diplo.
Living and working in Arnhem Land, by day he’s a mix engineer, working with some of Australia’s best indigenous music acts (King Stingray, Yothu Yindi, Yirrmal, Birdz), by night he continues to push audio into stranger, weirder places.
