In the heart of Fitzroy, Melbourne, a vivid and commanding mural by renowned street artist Makatron stretches across a building wall, celebrating the legacy of basketball legends with unmistakable flair. Boldly coloured and rich in caricature detail, the mural features iconic players from the Chicago Bulls, including the unmistakable figure of Michael Jordan, alongside animated expressions, dynamic poses, and even the team’s red mascot brought to life with oversized sunglasses. Known for his large-scale, pop-surrealist works, Makatron infuses this piece with both nostalgia and urban energy, turning a quiet laneway into a vibrant homage to sporting greatness. The mural not only showcases his signature comic-inspired style but also contributes to Fitzroy’s reputation as a living gallery of contemporary street art

ReplyDeleteNot as popular as football or crickets
DeleteI am most surprised to see this mural honoring my old home town Chicago Bulls, and the legacy of Michael Jorden. I once spotted him playing golf not too far from me. Makatron is a talented muralist who has included great detail in his mural.
