This latest mural featured in this post is found in Northcote, on the side wall of a two-story old Victorian terrace house. A rather incongruous image for such a grand old house, but perhaps this is part of the mural's appeal...
The mural depicts an R2-D2 type of robot, which seems to be a glorified music machine ("R2-DISCO"). The music theme is further hinted at by the electric leads and the tom-tom drums. On the other hand there is also suggestion of a space opera with a flying saucer hovering above and a crashed spaceship above the sumptuous red flower. The jungle-like setting with lush vegetation and floating blue fish completes the surreal image, a veritable "vernal equinox night's dream" quite aptly as we are approaching this astronomical occurrence...

That's huge and so cool. I really like this one. I wonder if the neighbor likes it...

It's quite cute, but have mixed feelings about such a modern piece being painted on the walls of a Victorian house...
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting Star Wars mural featuring R2-D2. Not sure it fits the house or neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely the coolest mural!
ReplyDeleteWow, something you wouldn't expect on the side of that type of house! But it is a fantastic mural, for sure!
ReplyDeleteHi Nick, This mural is fabulous. Futuristic and lovely at the same time. Except for the squashed plant under the spaceship. Smiling here. It is a very odd choice on the side of the old house. Past, future and present is my thinking.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining Blue Monday so faithfully. I always look forward to your entries.

As long as the owners of this Victorian house likes it:):) I agree with the incongruity. The mural in itself is a feat, so, thank you much for sharing this with SEASONS. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAm going to visit the links you gave.
What an interesting place for a robot! The details are really great.
