Darlinghurst, murals
"We Are Here" is a 15-metre-high, 75-metre-long mural in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. It is on the rear façade of the old Oxford Street Municipal Chambers along Foley Street, between Palmer Street and Crown Street and incorporates the brickwork, doors, ducts, pipes, bars and grilles. This giant artwork which was created by Australian street artists, illustrators and photographers, depicts some of the city’s most significant people and events using paint, collage, drawing, paste-ups, stencils, neon lights and photography.
Quite a mural though you could also call it graffiti
ReplyDeleteYuk, Jim. That’s a really interesting building now spoiled by the equivalent of a tattoo.
DeleteAlthough, it is much better than the graffiti the laneway usually attracts.
DeleteThis artwork would not have been easy to create.
ReplyDeleteI like it, and I like the humor of it.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Blue Monday, Jim.
i love the shape of that building!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a size, and clever too!
ReplyDeleteI have seen lots of murals in many different places, but none compared to this.
ReplyDeleteI love the size and the fun of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun! And so huge!
ReplyDeleteSuch murals are amazing...collaborative effort of artists. Am sure it brings a sense of community perhaps for some who had not felt so connected before. Thank you for sharing with us. I get to see worldwide images from Blue Monday ♥
ReplyDeleteA multimedia mural? Cool. Wish I could see more details. The size alone is impressive. I bet "Meet you at the mural corner" now trips off the tongues of the folks in the neighborhood. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and get a photo at night when the neon lights are on.
DeleteBeautiful mural. I played too. Mine are here and here.
ReplyDeleteI love building murals...never quite thought of them as building tattoos!
ReplyDeleteHuge, lovely blue!
