Newtown, mural

This mural is painted on the side of a house, beside the car park along Lennox Street, in the inner city suburb of Newtown. The Devine Within was created in 2016 by Alex Lehours, a Sydney-based illustrator, artist and designer. It explores the contrast between opposing elements. Man and nature, fiction and non-fiction, black and white as well as the past and present. In a dark and chaotic world like the one we live in it is important to recognise the beauty and harmonious balance that can be found between all things that are different.
