Tattoo is in a very eclectic area of the city.  The new complex fits into its surroundings, yet stands out from the crowd.  It is intense but at the same time fun and inviting.

The result is €˜city art€™ for everyone and anyone to stand, gaze and deliberate. Whether you love it or hate it, it prompts conversation between those nearby, a permanent canvas for future change.

The inspiration for the mural is fairly contrived; it was the act of entering and exiting a building. Welcoming creatures instructively beckoning you into the south main entrance and on the north these creatures are leaving, in a hurry, for the enjoyment of purely comedic visual aesthetic.

The colours are the result of combining simplicity and visual impact.  The use of simple variants of primary colours allowed the exploration of a large space with elementary restrictions, while working with the infinite possibilities.  This mural is a good example of continuity despite scale, as well as maximum impact despite restrictions in the colour palette.

This is bold and exciting.  It has a façade of the city and has an inner city restlessness about it.  We celebrate the fact that someone has gone out on a limb and injected art into the cityscape.
