The Adnate Mega Mural

Image source The Adnate, Art Series Hotels

Artist: Matt Adnate

Asset Type: Mural

Year of Work: 2017-2019

Location: 900 Hay Street, Perth 6000

Provenance: City of Perth

Description: The imposing 27-storey ‘Mega Mural’ on the west-facing side of the hotel is the largest artwork Matt has painted on a building and, once completed, will feature faces which represent the cultural history and community of Perth.
 
This, along with a ‘Laneway Mural’, which spans more than 50m long and features multiple portraits from Matt and a collaboration with a local Indigenous artist, and Matt’s interior ‘Staircase Mural’, will completely transform the hotel both inside and out.
 
“I see this hotel as a beautiful canvas to tell a story about Perth’s cultural and community connection through portraiture and traditional elements,” Matt said.
 
“My Mega Mural will feature three large-scale portraits. It will represent the past through the cultural representation in the subject’s dressing elements, the present with contemporary faces, and the future as the subjects are the youth of today.
 
“What excites me most about this collaboration with Art Series is the opportunity to capture the stories and emotions of my subjects and to share them with a new audience in the west.
 
“I’ve always held a personal connection towards the First Nation people I paint. Whether it be a connection to country or a strong emphasis on spirituality, I believe we have a lot to learn from these people.”

Chimera

Artist: Susan Flavell

Asset Type: Public Art

Year of Work: created in 2016, installed 2018

Location: Pioneer Park, Market Street

Provenance: City of Fremantle

Description: In Greek mythology, the chimera was a beast formed from parts of a lion, a goat and a dragon. The name lends itself to a variety of genetic mutations including patches of unique skin pigmentation, hair and odd eye colours in humans.
Although a loose interpretation of the chimera, Susan Flavell’s friendlier bronze chimera stands in clear view of Fremantle train station, welcoming travellers to Western Australia’s cappuccino strip.
