Beulah Town Hall

Posted by / Blog, Murals

Earlier this year dynamic duo, Kitt Bennett and French artist JAW teamed up to revitalize the Beulah Town Hall. Through using their highly stylised depiction of kangaroos, sheep shears and capturing the colours of a morning sunrise, the Town Hall was transformed into a fun and playful hub for the community to enjoy!

Castle Towers Sydney

Posted by / Blog, Murals

Reaching inspiration from the pristine, undulating landscape of NSW’s Blue Mountains and the pathways that flow through Castle Hill, Juddy Roller teamed up with Brisbane-based mural artist Leans to create a joyful, vibrant artwork that spans the length of Sydney’s Castle Towers.

Using spiraling shapes, with bold colour and playful texture, Leans captures the topographical beauty of the local landscape in his signature abstract yet precise manner. It’s hard to not feel happy just from walking past!

Waikerie Silo SA

Posted by / Blog, Murals, Silo Art Trail

Along the banks of the Murray River, talented street artists Dvate and Garry Duncan team up with the community of Waikerie, South Australia, to create some a large-scale silo artworks to add to the Silo Art Trail. Standing at 36m tall each, this project was inspired by the importance of the river flows from the Great Dividing Range that keep the Murray River Healthy. The Murray, which in turn, support the ecosystems and the communities around it.

Being passionate about the pandemic fauna and flora of the area, Dvate depicts a hyper-realistic representation of the common Yabby, a key indicator of river health, and a Regent Parrot, which is a prolific and unique parrot to the area of Waikerie.

Garry Duncan, inspired by the beauty and tranquility of the river, paints a scenic landscape of the Murray River, flanked with iconic pelicans above and turtles and yabbies below. Duncan mixes big bold colours with quirky minimalist illustration to show the beauty and variety of the region.

Mirvac Street Art Project- Optus Building

Posted by / Blog, Murals

Nestled in the bustling hub of Melbourne CBD, talented French street artist JAW created magic within the 367 Collins Street building. Through incorporating iconic imagery with bold colour abstraction and hyperrealism JAW paints a collaged landscape that any Melbournian can relate to- from Flinders Street Station to the iron lace on Victorian houses and bike lanes with bicycles.

Stretched along 40 metres of the newly refurbished building, JAW’s impeccable creativity shines through, as his clever choice of colour and attention to detail bridge the lines between street art and fine art. Never failing to capture a nostalgic feeling and the character of this city.

‘Nine til Five’ by Kitt Bennett

Posted by / Blog, Murals

Melbourne-based artist Kitt Bennett paints large (very large) illustrative murals on an unconventional surface: the ground.

His most recent adventure combined his art with aerial photography to craft the world’s most massive independently created piece of “Gif-iti”. The work, crafted by Bennett alongside collective Juddy Roller, features 10 human figures that craft a “perpetually tumbling” scene when viewed in sequence.

Inhabiting a colossal 9000 sqm of disused waterfront ground space at Port Melbourne’s Fisherman’s Wharf precinct, the project took Bennett 30 days to complete; using 700 litres of paint to compose the work which comprises a series of 10 individual 30-metre-long figures.

The size and form of this mural is unprecedented – four times the size of the previous holder of the title, (which clocks in at 27 storeys high) this mural has taken over the equivalent of 90 floors-worth of ground space.

Painted using only Taubmans acrylic and Monarch Painting rollers and brushes, and made possible thanks to the kind people at Independent Cement and Lime.

Thanks as always to Common State media.

Marvel Stadium- Sofles

Posted by / Blog, Murals

Kicking off the 2019 basketball season earlier this year, Sofles brings to life the spirit of Melbourne basketball through an 18m tall wall mural sitting alongside a custom decorated 3×3 basketball court and hoop. Through Sofles aerosol artistry he depicts basketball legends Andrew Gaze, Liz Cambage, Lauren Jackson, Andrew Bogut, and Ben Simmons donned in their green and yellow colours of the Boomers and the Opals.

The team at Juddy Roller teamed up with Visit Victoria to help create an interactive artwork, as the court is open to the public at the Marvel Stadium in the Docklands, so come shoot some hoops and get into the spirit of Australian basketball!

Federation Square – George Rose

Posted by / Blog, Murals

George rose continues on with her successful 2017 as she teams up with Juddy Roller and the crew at Fed Square to produce a large typography based mural as part of Fed Square’s 2017/2018 Summer campaign titled ‘So Hot Right Now’.

The campaign is just the start of a larger on-going project as Fed Square is completing renovation work on the square, hoping to give the public something much nicer to look at while all the noise is going on. The brief for the mural was big and bright, so naturally, George Rose was an easy candidate for the job.

The mural is unfortunately only temporary, so will only be hanging around until early 2018, so be sure to not miss this one before it’s gone for good.

Thanks again to Taubmans for their ongoing support! And thank you to Nicole Reed for the pics!

Euroa Skate Park – Kitt Bennett

Posted by / Blog, Events, Murals

The town of Euroa has teamed up with The Evolve Youth Committee and played host to Juddy Roller and artist Kitt Bennett for a double mural install on the towns skate park and an adjacent music hall over the busy weekend. Kitt worked his magic on the skatepark, giving the aged park a fresh new look as well as hosting a live paint by numbers workshop for the public to get involved.

The install took place during the ‘Show and Shine’ car show exhibition, which is one of the towns most celebrated annual events. The weekend was definitely a busy one, and the town of Euroa surely made the most of it, including the mural work, face painting, food vendors, DJ’s on top of the impressive display of cars over the weekend.

The Paint By Numbers workshop was an incredible success, bringing together the community of all ages to contribute to their new mural, and everyone here at Juddy Roller are so happy we’re able to help contribute to these amazing community events. A massive thanks to our paint sponsor Taubman for their generous support, as always.

Igniting Kimba – Cam Scale

Posted by / Blog, Murals

Silo Art has now spread beyond the Victorian Silo Art Trail, as the small town of Kimba known as the halfway point across Australia has decided to join in on the artistic fun. Cam Scale is the responsible artist, whose name is most certainly appropriate for the job along with his extensive experience with large mural work.

The mural stretches over five and a half Silos, standing proudly at over 60m wide and 25m high, making it one of the biggest silo’s to date, and one of the biggest canvases in the world. An impressive 200L of Taubmans paint were used in the process, covering the overly-large surface area.

The 3-week transformation slowly but surely brought the oversized canvas to life, depicting a young local girl playing in the wheat field, overlooked by the magnificent purple sunset and endless wheat fields which blend into the real thing, creating a never-ending piece of art. These primary themes all being recommendations about what best reflects Kimba and the region after countless community engagements with the township.

The town of Kimba, as well as the surrounding communities, are all extremely excited and proud with their new artwork, really looking forward to the tourism and economic boost it will bring. The silo art for the town is part of a collective project named ‘Igniting Kimba‘, which is utilising art and culture to promote the township, re-igniting its fuse with locals and travellers alike, making it a must stop for anyone passing through the region.

Thanks to Robert Lang for the brilliant photos.
