This mural commission is huge! We’ve been enjoying working with so many fresh and interesting artists and @soleveins is absolutely one of them! His unique style and take on the great Australia landscape invites the viewer on a journey through time and through colour and composition, with characters scattered throughout the work, adding to the emotive sensation felt whilst the viewer is immersed in the surreal colour formations and deconstructed visual landscape.
This piece took about 10 days at Bundoora square.
The work draws inspiration from surrounding minerals and plants to the area, all within a sunrise beaming through the King Lake mountain backdrop
Big thanks to @citywhittlesea

It was an honour to have worked alongside artist Scott Nagy @scottnagyartist and Janne Birkner @krimsone and the Barunga West Councill on this Silo art project located in the town of Bute, South Australia.
The artwork concept was based on representing women in regional areas, through telling the story of a girl pushing a vintage bike alongside the train tracks (like the ones that run alongside the silo).
The theme requested by the community was bright colours, and local agriculture, flora and fauna. This has been represented through the use of the Rooster as well as Sheep, which is a prominent agricultural aspect of Bute.
The rooster is also the mascot for the Bute football, netball, basketball, cricket and tennis club.
The birds around her are Rainbow Bee-eaters, which are seasonal breeding migrants to South Australia. As well as a Superb Fairy Wren.
The background entails the Hummocks which are a range of hills in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges extending north from the eastern edge of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.
The old stone shed is accurate to the area / time period.
Special thanks to Barunga West Council Mayor Leonie Kerley & Grants and Investment Coordinator Bridget Johns and the community of Bute for making this happen!
It has been an honour to have worked alongside artist @smugone and the Horsham Rural City Council on this project titled The Yangga Dyata which means ‘Walking on Country’. The silo art located on Wawunna Rd and Hazel St in Horsham, pays tribute to Yanggendyinanyuk, a Wotjobaluk warrior, whose strength and resilience inspires generations to come.
Yanggendyinanyuk was famously known for exceptional; tracking skills, helping to locate the Cooper-Duff children from the “Lost in the Bush” story, who had been lost for 9 days in the Wimmera Scrub. He was also known for his role in the first Indigenous cricket tour to England and witnessed a great loss of clan and Country.
A Gamaty, meaning ‘Black Cockatoo’ was his totem and stands proud alongside the completed Silo works.
A large thank you to the Barengi Gadgin Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, Aunty Jenni and the Plazzer Family for their support in this project.

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!
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.
JuddyRoller partnered with Council in sourcing seven leading Australian and world renowned Artists – Rone, Adnate, Sofles, Dvate, Heesco, Cam Scale and Jason Parker. Each artist was given artistic licence to paint a dedicated section of the wall, to create Yarra’s largest mural, the only limitation being that their artworks be portrait based and reflect the ‘Faces of the Community’.

Adnate has not only been an amazing beacon for the Melbourne street art and graffiti scene for over a decade, he’s also been a massive influence and supporter of Juddy Roller from the get go. He’s one of the most humble and talented artists we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. It’s been an honour to watch his work go from strength to strength over the last few years. Wether it’s an 11 story mural in Johannesburg, South Africa, or another sold out exhibition at Metro Gallery in his home town of Melbourne, he is constantly pushing himself to create emotive new works that test his skills and abilities.
The work below is a new installation for Strawberry Fields Festival. We are really impressed with the generosity of the event organisers. Not only have they shown their support for the arts by commissioning such a large scale piece for the event, they are also going above and beyond the call of duty by donating the work to a local school once the event has come to an end.
The images below show the first half of the installation. Stayed tuned to see the other half come to life over the next few days!
It was an absolute pleasure to meet such a nice, humble guy with such a fresh style. Great decision by the guys at Wonderwalls Festival to bring him out as the guest international artist for this year’s event.
Pantone is a super cool guy and we can’t wait for him to come back and visit us here in Aus. You can check out his work on canvas at Backwoods gallery right now!
