Mexican marsupials...



Spotted this work by Mexican artist Edgar Flores aka Saner while in Victoria Park last week. On the side of  Zucchero Espresso Bar, painted during the inaugural FORMPublic back in 2014. Saner expresses his art using 'icons from his culture, from the past, images from the Mayans and the Aztecs and Mexican symbols'. Gracias señor Saner for adding colour to a cloudy, dull day. Hope all the mums out there had or are still having a super day, happy Monday, take care and stay safe...

  3. A nice series of shots and I'm glad you included the last one as it puts the mural into perspective and makes it less intense for those who just want a cup of java. :)

  7. The large figure in the artwork seems to take a keen interest in the passers by. And the small figure on the rail almost seems a little evilish. An interesting one.

  12. We've been to a bit of Mexico and, as far ad I have been told, they do not have koalas. But why not a bit of fancy?
