This mural is in Brunswick, near the corner of Sydney Rd and Glenlyon Rd, on the grounds of St Ambrose's Catholic Church, about which I blogged yesterday. It is a joyous representation of music-making and it shines with shades of blue, terracotta, green and yellow. There is a strong spirit of community and communication through the universal language of music. It was painted in 1997 and the work is signed and dated on the top right hand corner.

Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteThe blue mural is terrific--there's so much movement in it that I can almost hear the music. Isn’t it fun finding blue?
Happy Blue Monday!
That is one fantastic mural. I agree with Sally, never seen one with so much movement.

this is certainly different than many of the murals you see in Melbourne! I like it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these gorgeous murals with us. Something I would never get to enjoy otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI love that you showed the location of the (gorgeous) mural in your first photo. The second photo is also great for giving us a feel for the lay of the land. As for the musicians, they are right up my alley :)
ReplyDeleteAm I the only who is reminded of Chagall? The colors, the dream like quality, and the elongated figures seem so familiar. You are lucky to have some of her work. Hope is stays protected. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThere are some very merry musicians in this mural Nick.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!!
