The "No more blank walls" mural festival ran from April 10th to the 18th, when 10 artists painted murals across various walls in South Perth.
Jose and I attended the inauguration community event at the "Village Green Shopping Centre" in Karawara (suburb next to South Perth) on Sunday 12th, at the invitation of Dr S, whose son in law is Jerome Davenport aka Ketones 6000, one of the curators and creative team behind "No more blank walls".
On the 16th I went to the dentist and took a detour to visit a couple of the murals in progress, and found this one which was totally finished. I didn't get to see the artist - Dutch born, Perth resident, Amok Island, as the mural was already getting a protective coat being applied by someone else.
From the artist's website:
"In March 2026, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority enacted a nationwide restriction on popular over the counter rat poisons, to protect native wildlife from secondary poisoning.
Studies revealed high levels of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) in native predators; for example over 70% of boobook owls and 80% of powerful owls in certain areas were found to have ingested SGARs; a single dose can kill a rodent and remain in their system for months, and when owls, eagles and quolls eat the dying rodents they are poisoned.
...WOW, these owls sure are neat, thanks Sami!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, they are lovely.
DeleteAwww, so beautiful. I love owls. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Sami. ♥
Thanks Sandee, it is a lovely mural.
DeleteI love seeing owls, and would really enjoy seeing one from Australia.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is mae sander (mae.sander@blogspot.com)
ReplyDeleteThank you Mae :)
DeleteI love those owls! The art you show is frequently new and fresh and exciting. Did you know that Portuguese people are a big part of the modern history of Hawaii? Back to plantation times people came from the Azores and brought their culture, their malasadas and their family ways to the islands and are definitely a strain of Hawaii's identity! The area of town where many of them settled has a Madeira Street and a Lisbon Street. Aloha friend
ReplyDeleteHi Cloudia, the Portuguese are spread all over the world :) I know about the Azorean people emigrating to the USA and Hawaii. My husband warn born in the Azores, and an aunt of his married an American and went to live in the States.
DeleteThey look amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jim.
DeleteO mural é muito bonito.
ReplyDeleteO animal nem por isso.
Boa semana
Obrigada Pedro. Coitados dos mochos :)
Deletelovely owls
ReplyDeleteThank you Cath :)
DeleteJ’aime beaucoup ce rendu plutôt réaliste avec l’utilisation de motifs géométriques. C’est très subtil et très beau
ReplyDeleteMerci Kwarkito :)
DeleteOwls looks amazing, Awesome mural works. Great clicks.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for hosting. Have a nice week ahead. Greetings
Thank you Rupam, have a great week too :)
DeleteThis is the reason I cannot give Ingo a banana to work: Rats! Yes, they have rats at work. Not pet-ones (they are cute).
ReplyDeleteI sure do love owls, adorable birds and a great mural. An important one. Here they just pop up signs (for humans, obviously) that rat poison is out. I always worry about the black cat that is roaming around here! Yes, we have a rat-problem, too. Not now, but on occasion...
We have them in our back garden too, sometimes see them running on the fence, I think they live in the palm tree in the garden behind ours! I'm petrified of rats!
DeleteLovely mural. We have a rat problem too, live most large cities. They give me the creeps.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. I'm petrified of rats and also have some in the garden.
DeleteLove that mural! The perfect fusion of owls and geometric patterns!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debra, the geometric patterns are great.
Deletei love the mural and am glad they are trying to restrict the use of the poisons.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. I hope they come up with something that kills the rats but doesn't poison the birds.
DeleteI just love these owls. I would never have thought of using squares or rectangles when painting birds.
ReplyDeleteSusan
Thanks Susan. This artist paints his murals in geometric shapes.
DeleteThese owls are goregeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteWonderful owl mural! Glad they are restricting the poisons.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. Yes I agree, hopefully the birds and other rat predators won't keep on being poisoned.
DeleteReally love this mural of owls! Visiting you from Georgia, USA. Greetings!
