I wanted to transform the Campbell Park Office building because it is such an incredibly impressive and rhythmic structure. Its scale is quite overwhelming. It’s a Defence Building and it feels like a massive fortress.
I played with applying colour to the fantastic external under-croft spaces. The scale and layering of the walls proved receptive to big planes of colour, reminiscent of Le Corbusier’s High Court in Chandigarh. It’s a simple and bold colour strategy, which can alter depth perception, emphasise planes over volumes and assist with way finding.
No raw concrete was harmed in the production of these artworks.
The Backstory
Lymesmith's assault on béton brut aims to stimulate debate around the treatment of Brutalist buildings now and into the future and ponders what kinds of transformations are possible for these concrete giants. Purchasing an archival print supports Lymesmith’s Brutal Transformations paste-up project, to bring free, high-quality poster art to city streets.
For further information on the paste up project, visit the Brutal Transformations webpage.
