Welcome to Brunswick is a multi layer stencilled landscape painting capturing an iconic, yet non-descript rundown Melbourne Milkbar. These run down versions of the iconic Australian corner store can be found around the country and can spark waves of nostalgia, reminding the viewer of childhood adventures, while the stark contrast of graffiti evokes the loss of innocence.
Built from more than 18 individually cut stencil layers, the piece uses realistic detail and raw graffiti textures to explore nostalgia, memory, and the quiet beauty of the often overlooked elements of the Australian urban landscape.
