Can't be the Homard, Woolloomooloo Mural, Eastern Suburbs Railway pylon Woolloomooloo, 1984

Description

Unique IDA-01209918SeriesWoolloomooloo Mural Project RecordsDateBetween 1st January 1984 and 31st December 1984Date qualifieryear onlyFormatPhotograph - TransparencyDescriptionView showing a panel painting on Zincalume sheet, attached to a concrete pylon in the area between Sir John Young Crescent and Judge Street, Woolloomooloo.

Mural depicts a female and male figure sitting each end of a long dining table. The table is set with salmon, wine, plates, cutlery and a floral table decoration.

The first set of renewable billboards were painted onto heavy litho paper with Collies offset inks which were then glued to the metal panels. (The idea was that these could be pasted over with new images on billboard paper every twelve months. Later the artists realised how costly and labour intensive the replacement would be, and how short-lived the adhesive durability of paper glued on expanding and contracting metal). As a consequence the first series of ink on paper billboards were removed in 1984, and a new set of six murals painted with enamel on metal were commissioned in 1984. The Can't be the Homard mural was part of this group.
