MURAL ON EBENEZER
Nov 23rd
When Matt Stuckey and Joel Van Der Knapp (of The Treehouse fame) wanted to create something to make the environment a bit more fun and engaging, they turned their skills to painting a mural representing the interaction between urban landscapes and organic elements in the creative hub that is Ebenezer Pl, Adelaide.
“Basically we just want to create something we’re happy to look at everyday. Hopefully people who we would never meet otherwise will notice and appreciate our work and contemporary art in general.”
Standing at over a story tall and about 9m wide, it’s impossible to miss the gigantic abstract form.
“It is huge. Both of us have a very bold, graphic style, so we’ve taken that look and scaled it up,” explains Matt.
With their studio just around the corner, Ebenezer was an obvious choice.
“It is between us and coffee, so we pass it frequently. It is a great location in a really creative hub. There will certainly be more and more street art in the East End in the near future so it is a great place and time to be up and visible.”
