This stained glass mural is located above one of the Pitt Street entrances at "The Galeries" shopping centre, below the Citigroup Centre office block. It was created in 2000 by Marc Grunsiet depicting a map of a serpentine landmass surrounded by ocean, simultaneously viewed from various perspectives and levels of magnification, referring to a range of Australian environments populated by surreal fauna.
The serpentine shape and colours remind me of some aboriginal artwork. I think of rainbow serpent. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteI love the rich colours in this one, Jim!
ReplyDeleteJust because a building is commercial, it doesn't have to be ugly. The Galeries Shopping Centre found a lovely way to introduce beauty into an ordinary shopping experience.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour!
ReplyDeleteInteresting work Jim. Is it actual stained glass or painted on?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was painted on but the artists website describes it as stained glass. You can read more if you click on the link on his name.
