The Art of Banksy Sydney

Displayed in the Sydney Town Hall and open until 19 May 2024, The Art of Banksy Sydney is an impressive display of some of his greatest works.

Starting with a timeline of Banksy’s works, the exhibition illustrates the progression of his works and its commentary on western society. Each of the roughly 180 pieces was explained so that everyone could understand why it was created and the impact it had.

Copies of work from Ukraine were displayed along with recorded reactions from Ukrainians and Russians. As expected the Russian reaction was aggressive and negative, having their actions called out and broadcast to the world.

We loved the art and its political content and were pleased that we took the opportunity to see it while it was in Sydney.

Canberra Public Art and Sculptures

Canberra Public Art and Sculptures

Walking through the centre of Canberra we constantly came across statues and other art work. They added some interest to our walks from one place to another and brightened the city up.

We didn’t go out of our way to find them so were happy when we stumbled on them.

Chalk the Walk Newcastle 2023

The annual chalk drawing festival Chalk the Walk Newcastle 2023 ran from late September to early October 2023. This year’s theme, All Creatures Great and Small was reflected in the drawings, which ranged from whales to spiders.

As a bonus, Jenny McCracken’s whales located outside Harry’s Cafe de Wheels on Market Street lawn will be a permanent 3D pavement mural. Although the other murals had some protection added to protect them from the rain, this was only temporary and they have now been removed.
