If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you;
Again, while going through old photo murals I found murals I had photographed in November 2017 in Subiaco, an inner city suburb, and never posted.
I had mentioned the Paint Subi project that was held on the 11th and 12th of November 2017, in my post about Open House Perth 2017, but never posted the individual murals.
On Saturday 11th November I had joined the Mural Walk, and most of the local and international artists were still busy painting their murals for the week long "Paint Subi" project supported by Form WA.
The first mural we visited was at 15 Railway Road, and was painted by Sioux Tempest, a Perth artist who has painted a few murals around our city.
The next mural was on nearby Rokeby Road, painted by Dominican born American artist Evoca, on the walls of the Australian Post building in Rokeby Road. Boy on the red bike, shows a young postal worker on a bike delivering parcels alongside a black swan - the official state symbol of Western Australia.
Next week I'll show a few other murals from Paint for Subi.
...the first one is bold and graphic, but the second one is my favorite. Thanks Sami for hosting, take care and enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, it is quite a beautiful mural.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat boy on his red bike is a lovely mural!
Hugs,
Mariette
It certainly is, thanks Mariette.

DeleteI like the graphics of the first one, but I'm sure you KNOW how much I love black swans. I've never seen one in flight before, so that was a real treat. I like how the artist used the arch to separate the swan from the biker. It's a wonderful mural, dear. And as always, thanks for hosting, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, it's a beautiful mural and I love the swan in it too :)
DeleteI love the way the boy is partly behind the arches and partly in front of them -- clever use of space!
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae :)
DeleteI love the black swan, and the second picture is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes the swan mural is quite lovely.
DeleteVery surreal but cool, at first I thought the boy was riding the bird.
ReplyDeleteIt does appear to be that way, you only notice the bike later. Thanks Amy.
DeleteLove that boy on a bike. The nice arches of the building also helped!
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa :)
DeleteI love the boy on the bike with the swan.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew :)
DeleteO menino e o cisne - FABULOSO!
ReplyDeleteObrigada Pedro.
DeleteWow, as happy the first one´s colors are, I love the second one, so life-like! The boy looks eager to get his job done... you hardly see that these days...
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris, it's very well done for sure.
DeleteAmazing works
ReplyDeleteThanks Rupam.
DeleteI absolutely love Boy on a red bike, Sami. I never know where to find out who painted the murals.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne. Sometimes the artist signs his work, but not always...
DeleteThat's a great bright abstract, but it's Boy on red bike that wins for me. So well done beneath the arches, with the swan popping out to go round a pillar.
ReplyDeleteA good artist for sure Debbie.
DeleteLove that one of the boy on the red bike. The swan really choose to come out of the mural. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteThanks SC
DeleteSon muy interesantes esos murales , sobretodo el de la segunda y la tercera fotografía.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Gracias :)
DeleteBelos murais.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful mural of the boy on the bike with the black swan. Well done! Wishing you a great day and a happy new week!
Thank you Eileen, it's a great mural for sure!
DeleteYou know, I am rarely in cities but when I am I have looked fir murals, but either I am looking jn the wrong places or we really do have less than you do in Western Australian, because I don't find them here. I will keep looking!
ReplyDeleteI bet your eyes are more trained to look for birds than murals, lol.
DeleteWe do have a lot of murals in Australia over all. Even now during Covid they were being painted, although in smaller numbers than before. Thanks David
The boy on the bike reminds me of Norman Rockwell. Very nice
ReplyDeleteYes, a resemblance there Bertie, thanks.
DeleteOh I super love this one Sami! I think it kind of matches Iris's entry with the beautiful bird from Captain University :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stevenson :)
DeleteI love the boy on the red bike one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the artist ID for my mural!
Thanks Pat, glad I could help :)
DeleteVery dynamic.
ReplyDeleteThanks William :)
DeleteThat one of the boy on the bird -- so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's very well done, thanks Jeanie
DeleteI love the boy and the swan! It reminds me of a Norman Rockwell illustration.
ReplyDeleteYes it does, thanks Linda
DeleteI love the boy on the red bike Sami, it's one of my favourites from the Paint Subi event.
ReplyDeleteThere were many beautiful murals painted for that event, but this one is pretty special. Thanks Grace
DeleteSiento las molestias que te he ocasionado, pero intenté mandarlo rellenando el modelo y no lo pude hacer.
ReplyDeleteCuando vi tu entrada, me acordé, de una antigua publicación que hice de unos Murales en la ciudad de Málaga.
Muchas gracias
No hay problema Antonia. Gracias :)
DeleteThe first one is very colourful, but I have to say it's the second one that is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing them both.
Hope your week is going well, they seem to go by so quickly.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan, the second one is truly a beauty :)
