Madonna and Child mural, Erskineville Road Erskineville, circa 1992

Description

Unique IDA-00026554SeriesJuilee Pryor Street Art Photograph CollectionDateBetween 1st January 1992 and 31st December 1993Date qualifiercircaFormatPhotograph - DigitalDescriptionView north-west of Madonna and Child mural painted on side of a two story house, 50 Erskineville Road, Erskineville, an interpretation of an old master painting, by Andrew Aiken. The mural was thrown up very quickly over the course of one night and attracted a very negative response very quickly. It was widely interpreted to be an anti-abortion statement but that is not correct. It quickly attracted a negative response in the form of tagging. Andrew's Christianity was well known and people made assumptions based mostly on that. This mural was created in 1992 or 1993 and was artist funded. The adjoining block of land was sold and redeveloped and the mural disappeared from sight.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Author/creatorPhotographer: Juilee PryorArtist: Andrew AikenGeographic location^[1]
