Matari

Description

This enormous painting is a portrait of 11 month old Matari, an aboriginal child of the Muthi Muthi and Nukunu people. It can be found on the wall of the Blak Dot Gallery in Brunswick, and Indigenous art space. He is represented wearing a traditional kangaroo head band and ceremonial face paint.

Sadly, it seems the inevitable development in our inner suburbs has claimed this gorgeous piece, possibly my favourite Melbourne "Adnate". It looks like the small building it was on has gone, with huge hoardings around the entire site, destined to be another huge apartment block I'd say. - Andrew Haysom, 7-Nov-23

I love street art. And I love sharing the images that artists paint on walls, whether it's here in Melbourne or in other visually exciting cities. I've been photographing art in Melbourne since 2005 and love being part of the street art community.
