An Adelaide family contacted me to install 3 murals in their home that is being completed renovated. This family loves colour and was a dream to work with.
Let me take you on a street art tour of Prospect and the Adelaide CBD. Discover what defines street art, how the art form has changed and evolved, the difference between graffiti and work in a gallery and how large-scale murals can delight and surprise the audience.
Bright and colourful mural for Tyndale Christian School in Adelaide. Here are some questions from the students about the process of installing this mural for their courtyard.
I’ve just completed a mural for the Nutrition Department at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide. I focused on pastel colours and organic shapes. Many of their patience would find strong, bright colours a sensory overload and it was important to create a welcoming space while patience wait for their appointments.
During my artist-in-residence at Cardijn College, the students covered their courtyard in colour. This project has been unique because, not only did I have time to brainstorm with students, run aerosol workshops, and install the mural with them, but the students also took the lead in requesting funding and permission from the school leadership.
Artist have this weird thing going where some are really open and just damn passionate about all things art and other’s… well… some just keep to themselves, see another ability as a threat and can really close of as soon as you say “Yeah, I’m an artist too”. So let me tell you five things you need to know about Mimbi…
I so LOVE street art! I’ve had an interest in it ever since we studied it as a controversial “issue” in Art at High School. It’s so exciting to see Adelaide coming alive with new murals all the time. There's something great about street art being in the public and temporal. Once it is on the wall it really is up to the individual how they interpret it…
