Delicate Lace in Chinatown - Mural in Northbridge II

This beautiful and delicate lace pattern mural was painted on a wall in Perth's Chinatown.

It was painted during "Form2015", by NeSpoon, a Polish street artist. She uses the lace patterns as "public jewellery" and usually collaborates with lace-makers in the various countries where she has exhibited her works, such as Portugal, France, Italy, the Netherlands... She also uses her lace patterns in pottery.

The birds and the famous face - Mural in Northbridge I

Just like the Zebra mural in the previous post, this 20 metre wide, 2 storeys high mural is in the suburb of Northbridge, right next to the city, and was painted by Perth artist Anya Brock.



Anya was commissioned to paint the very plain rear facade of the Paramount nightclub, and again you can see recognize her style by the use of her traditional colours and also the birds and geometric shapes that she often paints. 
The bottom left face is that of Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr.
If I painted murals these would be my colours too, in fact my favourite colour is blue, specially turquoise, which I have in the home, garden, clothing....

Zebras - Monday Mural

This Zebra mural in Fremantle  was painted by Perth artist Anya Brock in her trademark colours. 
It was painted on the side wall of the very quirky Ootong and Lincoln Cafe, at 258 South Terrace.

Monday Murals is hosted by Oakland Daily Photo where you can visit other participating blogs. 

A thousand lights at the Airport

Dropping a friend at the International Airport recently I came across this mural painted by Perth's artist Kyle Hughes-Odgers.

It's painted over 9 walls - measuring 80 metres in length by 6 metres height - on the new domestic Terminal 2 building next to Terminal 1, the International Airport.

It was completed towards the end of last year and it took 22 days to paint!

The mural is entitled "A thousand lights", depicting an abstract aerial view of flying across the globe to Perth.

The mural has been lit with LED lights so that the night view should be quite fabulous!

Murals in Claremont II

The following murals and street art were also found around the business area of Claremont - Claremont Quarter.

Located at Walt Drabble Lane (just like the first two murals in the previous post) the mural below was painted by Perth artist Kyle Hughes-Odgers, entitled "Taking boats out to the ocean" painted in 2012.




Dutch born and Fremantle resident, artist Amok Island, painted this "Fish" in 2013, on the walls of a men's shoe and clothing shop, at Rear 21 Bayview Terrace.
He seems to love  painting fish, as he has many other fish murals around Perth.


















"Ooh La La" is the name of this work of art commissioned by the Town of Claremont to revitalise Bay View Terrace, reflecting the town's contribution to fashion.
It was unveiled in 2013 and the artist was Perth's Coral Lowry.

Another work of art commissioned by the City of Claremont in 2009, are these lovely bronze black cockatoos sitting on the bent flowering spike of a grass tree.  
The sculpture was done by local sculptor Andrew Kay and is located in Mary Street.

Here are natural Grass trees and  you can see the bent flowering spike on the tree to the left, as portrayed in the cockatoo sculpture. 

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We've had some cold mornings in Perth this week with zero degrees C. recorded on Thursday 9th. This week the minimum will be slightly higher at 5 C. Luckily the top temperatures will average between 17 to 20 C!
