the dynamic art of Chris O’Doherty - 2

This week I am featuring the artwork of Chris O’Doherty. Commissioned by Arts Brookfield, Chris’s work can now be seen around the site of Sydney’s next significant commercial and retail development at Wynyard Place.
A closer look at part of the large mural.

The Peapes wall behind has been uncovered for the first time in more than half a century. It appeared after the Thakral House commercial building was demolished next door. But it’s not going to be around for long – the seven-storey sign will be covered up again as construction begins on the site above Wynyard Station, according to a Brookfield spokesperson.
“The Peapes sign will be preserved in its current position, however will be concealed once the new office tower is constructed adjacent to this building.
I like the Peapes Wall! And I like the O’Doherty mural - well everything but that eye in the tree trunk. Smile.

Interesting POV. What will they do with the boarding when the building is complete?

Lovely colourful artworks. Great that you got a shot of the old Peapes wall before it's covered up again.

Love the juxtaposition here too, and particularly like the wonderful old building in the background with the phantom signs.

@golftragic that wall was exposed during demolition - when I googled I was so happy I photographed it as it will probably be covered again in the near future
