Surry Hills, bank

The facade of this former bank building at Taylor Square, in the inner city suburb of Surry Hills, features this brightly coloured temporary artwork. "Always Was, Always Will Be" was created by Reko Rennie and explores what it means to be an urban Aboriginal in contemporary Australian society. This view is from the Bourke Street side and includes one of the red heritage post boxes that can be found in various locations around the inner city. A front view can be seen here

    2. It's part of the Sydney Art & About Festival and they install temporary artworks in this area every year, as part of the Streetware program.

  4. Somebody went to a lot of trouble for a temporary paint job. I would have to guess that it is a one of a kind unique. Maybe they will leave it.

  5. It is a cool looking building. But, if I stared at it for too long my eyes would go batty. Great shot!
