As I made my way through Martin Place in search of Angel Place, my attention was drawn to a mural along the way. It bore the appearance of a promotional display—more a commercial advertisement than a work of public art, I believe—though its colours and composition momentarily held my gaze.

ReplyDeleteThank you, now I can look up
DeleteThat is very striking, and unusual to see a reduced colour palette.
ReplyDeleteYeah, not common to observe muted colour version
DeleteDefinitely BIG!
ReplyDeleteAmong the high rises
DeleteNot sure what is advertise here. Perhaps this is a tribute to the musical group, ABBA with their one backward "B".
ReplyDeleteYeah, for the show perhaps
DeleteNot Anonymous, but Taken For Granted here. Google defaults to "Anonymous".
DeleteA nice mural.
ReplyDeleteLooks pleasant
DeleteIt does look like an ad for something. Though artfully done. We have murals all over the city of girls with flowers in their hair!! I don't know if this is all the rage, it is strange to me.
ReplyDeleteSome sort of political movement?
DeleteVery nice, I like the colors too.
ReplyDeleteI really like this mural. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteIt is still an impressive image.
ReplyDeleteShades of green and black used effectively. Thanks to Tom for the explanation.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteVery expressive!
ReplyDeleteAbba was the first thing I thought of, but that doesn't make sense based on the image.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your comment about the colors and the composition. It is beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteGood that Tom identified the mural. I read up about it here: https://obeygiant.com/peace-waratah-mural-sydney/
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely one, just about blends in with the background. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing
ReplyDeleteUn mural que queda muy bien integrado en su entorno, por sus tonalidades y formas.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
