Silo art - Southern Australia

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

In many small towns across Oz, selected artists have made grain silos their canvas on many occasions. This image is from the village of Bute, population maybe 200, and the artwork brings visitors from across the country to admire this -and others along the 'Silo Art Trail' as it meanders across the outback

As always, feedback welcome

Nice shot. The artwork is a circlarama. I always wonder how artists manage this sort of thing given how high the structure is and that at some stage they must have to stand back to view progress.

G'day John

Here's 2 cropped / close-ups showing what they get up to ~ sort of amazing fine detail on such a large 'canvas'

Here in the UK in many towns and cities, we get street art sometimes occupying a whole huge wall. It's better in my opinion than leaving these walls looking old and decrepit....

Hi Jeff

Same here - and it tends to keep the graffiti taggers away also

We have quite a few silos where I live but nothing remotely close to being that good.
