This one is on the side of Coles Supermarket in Coventry Street, South Melbourne. It is a rather classy mural and I hope you can read in between "#social distancing".
There is a web address on the mural, MelbourneMurals.com.au but that redirects my browser to presumably the artist, https://www.brigittedawsondesigns.com/ . If you click on Mural tab, you will see the work called Making of Adam.
I had to do some inventive cropping to rid the photo of a road works witches hat and other ugly bits. So what do you think of Brigitte's work? Thumbs up or down?
Skilled and clever.
ReplyDeleteNot to my personal taste - but it is definitely both of those things.
And yes 'God' and man have been social distancing for a very long time.
EC, nor do I like those old religious style paintings although remember how Sister Wendy used to bring them alive with detail?
DeleteThumbs up.
ReplyDeleteAs for Brigitte's (and Michelangelo's) Adam, if I were God I'd have a hard time keeping my social distance.
Kirk
DeleteCute :) Perhaps they should have bumped elbows!
Kirk, unfortunately Adam was lacking in one area but as the saying goes, it is what you do with it.
DeleteHels, you do amuse me.
DeleteBrilliant artwork.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope people follow suit...take note...pull their heads out of their nether regions...and abide by the lockdown restrictions.
There are many wonderful works of art shown on that site...I'll now go into it again for a longer viewing. Very clever, talented artists, indeed.
Lee, she is pretty good isn't she. She lives where some family live but they are soon to move.
DeleteThere will always be people who don't obey but I can tell you, there is climate of fear among many people here now. Us included.
This is on a Coles building? I'm surprised they allowed anything at all that isn't advertising for their company.
ReplyDeleteIt's excellent work, but I don't like it.
River, I had a look with Street View and I think Coles is a tenant in the building. There is a commercial radio station there along with offices. Your opinion of the work is the same as mine.
DeleteThumbs up
ReplyDeleteGood Diane.
Delete👍, I think it is creative. She has taken 2 classic art work and made it relevant in today's pandemic world
ReplyDeleteThanks Kestrel. Quite inspired really.
DeleteThe right hand side is definitely more like the original that the left, but well done overall. I even like the faux-marbling.
ReplyDeleteCro, as typical of me, I missed the marbling detail.
DeleteRead the bit in the middle.
ReplyDeleteLovely murals and I like her work went and looked so thanks for the link.
Margaret, thanks for checking out her work. She deserves some credit for her skill.
DeleteWonderful, we need a million of those around the world.
ReplyDeleteTravel, murals are so good.
DeleteI quite like it Andrew, and the "social distancing" in the middle makes it a mural for our times.
ReplyDeleteKeep well Andrew.
Sami, yes very much a mural of our times.
DeleteI like it very much Andrew. There are a lot of murals during these past months depicting social distancing, will we look back on them and remember. Maybe social distancing and hand washing will be the way forward. Thanks for the link, enjoyed seeing more of her work, so much talent ✨
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. While I am not sure about social distancing remaining, I expect hand washing and sanitising will be around for a long time, if only to prevent yourself catching a cold or flu.
DeleteLove it! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve.
DeleteI saw the original in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican in 1969. That was awesome.
ReplyDeleteGigi, it must be amazing to see the original.
