Monday Murals - At the Claremont Station underpass

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth, Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks Sami 

Recently while waiting for my appointment with the hand specialist I walked around Claremont and after spotting the previous 2 murals (from last post) I saw this huge mural leading from the Claremont station to the pedestrian underpass between Gugeri Street and Claremont Crescent.

The long 400 sqm mural (4305sqft) was painted in March 2022, by local artist Jennie Nayton, in a rainbow of colours, patterns and flowers. The artist took inspiration from the suburb's historical buildings - Federation style pressed tin ceilings, cast iron features, Art Deco tiling and plaster facades that grace the buildings, and the flowers from local parks.

I'm sure it brings joy to those passing through the underpass, it certainly brightened my day. Hope it brings you joy as well.

This should be my last mural from the suburb of Claremont, unless I discover any more murals future visits to my Hand specialist :)

  4. Dear Sami, oh yes, these murals brighten my day, too - they are beautiful and colourful patterns paired with gorgeous flowers, and all of this is perfectly painted by Jennie Nayton.
    The first mural I am sending you today is from the Vienna Prater and was also painted by an Australian artist - Jasmine Crisp.
    I discovered the second mural in the small US-American town of Kayenta near Monument Valley, and I think that these beautiful wild horses (and two other murals that I show in the blog) were painted by indigenous artists. (I only found a single inscription - without a name - which probably indicates that the horse-mural was painted in 2014.)
    I hope your hand is already feeling much better!
    All the best and lovely October days, Traude

    1. Thanks Traude, I'm not familiar with the Australian artist you mention, we have no murals in Perth painted by her.

  7. These are lovely - and how to turn a very ugly part of town (at least the tunnel) into something beautiful!

    1. Thanks Lydia. It's a nice part of town though, one of the fancy suburbs of Perth, lol, but of course the tunnel even though it's newish would be bland without the mural.

  8. I'm glad I wasn't paying for the paint. I like the abrupt colour changes of the different sections.
