The Hours Tower Mural Project

I saw this at this years Semi Permanent. A great collaborative street project.

 

“The Hours Tower Mural Project is an ongoing art project at The 4217 in Surfers Paradise, Australia which aims to bring well known artists to the Gold Coast to collaborate together using the three storey high lift-shaft at The 4217 as their canvas.

Curated by The Hours, the project will regularly see two different Australian artists invited to paint a collaborative artwork on the huge lift-shaft, providing Surfers Paradise with a truly unique large scale and evolving piece of public art.

This is the first mural for the ongoing project, painted by Beastman and Jae Copp in April 2013.” @ Vimeo

Richard Hamilton

Richard Hamilton passed away on the 13th Sept leaving behind the legacy of  an extraordinary creative practice. Not content to rest on his laurels as the founding father of the Pop Art movement, Hamilton remained an active force in the art world, continually investigating new ideas and approaches to art making.
