"Pieces of Edwardstown" mural by Sair Bean 2022. Castle Plaza, Raglan Avenue, Edwardstown. Image credit: Sair Bean. Commissioned by City of Marion
Created by Sair Bean in 2022 this mural is akin to tearing open a bag of mixed lollies to a group of ravenous toddlers. Sair Bean’s design fully transforms the Castle Plaza wall using bright, bold squiggles and colours. In a contemporary and illustrative style, the design will appear as a map ‘puzzled’ together with strong block colours and organic shapes. Unusual textures, unexpected new forms, sprouting elements and spontaneous shapes form bulbous extremities and augment the feeling of growth, referencing the innate potentiality of Edwardstown. In an abstracted collaged fashion, the design includes a nod to the past retail industry and a celebration of its growth to this present day. This fantastical artwork will help Edwardstown discover colour, vibrancy and inspire the community to seek magic, richness, and playfulness. Located at Castle Plaza - Raglan Avenue, Edwardstown. Part of Revitalisation of Edwardstown Employment Precinct Program.
