Armed with a Form map for the Victoria Park works, I started in one area with the intention of going all the way to the city. Most of these murals are in Albany Highway - a main road that passes through Victoria Park, 405km long road from Perth to Albany in the South West.
After 5 or 6 murals my battery ran out! In the meantime I managed to mostly photograph works painted in 2014. I hope you like them and I will return to photograph the 2015 murals soon.
Nick Zafir, a Perth based artist also painted the above wall in a laneway in 2014.
A local artist, Miss Spic, painted this "Retro girl" at the request of a business owner avoiding graffiti.
Another 2014 wall, entitled "Falcor", painted by Singaporean artist Sheryo & Perth artist The Yok, now based in New York. Their work is Asian inspired as you can see above.
And the next one is not a mural, it's a bicycle repair station!
Funny thing, I'd never seen one before...couldn't really figure out, probably because I'm no biker, but it had all sorts of small tools hanging...
Next time I hope to bring you some of 2015's murals...
Hope you enjoy these.
There are just so many Sami :) love the Saner Mural.
ReplyDeleteI think I will spend a few hours there to photograph the rest of the murals...
DeleteOh, shoot, I so hate when that happens with the battery!
ReplyDeleteThe heart in the first mural, huhhh - room for interpretation... but rather creeps me out ;-)
But very arty, I like it. The Miss looks kinda arrogant to me. The Falcor is also great.
And, wow, that repair station! We don´t have anything like that! Would be no use to me if alone, but with Ingo this sure is a great thing provided (not funny to have to admit this...).
Yes, I also don't know anything about that repair station but I thought it was quite handy, plus I had never seen one before anywhere else in the city.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of color being added to that area.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette, yes a lot of colour changing that suburb!
