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.
