It always makes me happy when I come across work by large scale mural collective Too Much Colour. Artists Darren Hutchens, Dan Huggan and Larry 'Lorenzo' Halden work harmoniously together to bring colour, not too much :) to otherwise quite uninteresting spaces. Here on Scarborough Beach, if you look to the left in the shot below you can juuuuust catch a glimpse of the ocean, the content of this mural is absolutely perfect for this spot, even on a dull day, as it was on Monday when I took these shots..
I was lucky enough to chat with two of the group when Aimee and I were in North Perth at the weekend.. they were busy colouring-up a lane-way with a familiar character that you might remember here on Bathers Beach in Fremantle, this time munching a donut! They did agree to pose but were, as street artists sometimes can be, a little shy :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe...
I do like the swirl of the water in that first mural!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! The colours are just beautiful. - Tasha
ReplyDeleteThe first mural is very amazing!! Arianna
ReplyDeleteI like the water section, Grace !
ReplyDeletethe more the merrier
ReplyDeleteSome of these wall painting are too garish or too ghoulish. These are just right with superb colors -easy on the eyes!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful way to highlight a building, just add colour and create an unique mural. Those are splendid!
ReplyDeleteColorful it is.
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to ride the wave!
ReplyDeleteThese are really amazing, and I agree: not too much colour!
ReplyDeleteI like the wave the best.
ReplyDeleteMade me think of warmer days...
ReplyDeleteI like the wave. Such talent in these works of art!
ReplyDeleteI love the wave, too, but all are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI do like the wave and all of the color Grace! The last picture of the two artists is so funny.
ReplyDeleteYou can never have to much of a good thing - colour all the way!!!
ReplyDeleteI like it. It's fanciful but not at all banal.
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique use of colour and shape. Amazing how these two artists can synchronise their styles.
ReplyDeleteThe setting sun seems to be the eye of a newly discovered species. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Grace .. the brighter the better.
ReplyDeleteNever too much color! I love all the color.
ReplyDeleteNice photos also Grace!
Fun to see these!
ReplyDeleteWow, love the mural! I like the one in Freo too.
ReplyDeleteVibrant and intense! So much joie de vivre...
ReplyDeleteNow that's a splash of color.
ReplyDeleteLove the whimsy and colors of these murals!
ReplyDeleteI am a bit jealous at your murals overthere, so much and so beautiful. I can't find them here...
ReplyDeleteAwesome work - and, wow, you really asked them for a pic? Good on ya, Grace, I wouldn´t dare, I guess.
ReplyDeleteNot too much color at all--it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your portrait of the artists and all the colorful art. The art reminded me that I heard on the radio that there are tsunami warnings out for Western Australia today! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than some color in your day!
ReplyDeleteA splash and waves of colorful-ness!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you still find as colorful graffitis
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I genuinely laughed out loud when I got to your last shot. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic colour in these murals ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I am loving how some of this street art seem to be colour coordinated! It's actually quite wonderful to have this kind of alternative art installations and we should encourage the youth in Claremont to do the same instead of writing vulgarity instead.
