This Lymesmith mural design is a work in two parts. On the right, colours collected on southern slope of Galambary; on the left, colours reflecting the western face of Mt Ainslie.
Each painting is comprised of a grid of 100 rectangles. There are 100 different colours in the mural, the site of mural is 100 Northbourne Avenue, in Canberra.
The enormous scale of the mural and its rich and complex tapestry of colour has transformed the quality of the public circulation spaces of the apartment building.
Now you can own a replica of the 440sqm artwork in miniature.
Reflecting on the artwork, Michael Tawa wrote:
“The complexion of a person, or of a place, is its distinctive quality, constituted of inner life-warmth and perceived emergent or radiant colour: of splendour. Colour is not superficial; it is a mark or sign of what carries it, or what causes it to emanate or flow out, from an inner constitution, through the veil that conceals it. Colour is a sign of the times, a signal of place, a signature of character.”
