Chosen Artist

The chosen artist Banksy was inspired by ambiance of Newtown. I enjoyed the laid back and trendy atmosphere of Newtown and wanted to bring that into my Gallery design. The most striking element of Newtown was the great street art which gave the area such character and atmosphere. I wanted to capture this atmosphere and implement it into my final design, in conjunction with the ideas of mixing internal and external space.

The image above shows the colours and liveliness of Newtown. The painting is also a controversial and relevant picture highlighting the importance of the Aboriginal community in this area and Australia.

Banksy is known for being a controversial artist that wants to use the streets to communicate to the public and question controversial issues that are relevant to today's people and world. this is highlighted in some of the pictures below.
