Check out this great video by Michael Danischewski and awesome shots from David Russell documenting Hosier Inc’s inaugural “Paint UP” project, featuring Adnate. The project was called Paint UP; a simple play on words; extending access to artists to the untouched walls (which have never before been painted) above ground level in Hosier and Rutledge lanes.
From Hosier Inc: “Six artists were invited by Hosier Inc to submit a concept for a large-scale image to be painted on the rear of McDonald House in Hosier Lane. The successful proposal was to demonstrate a rationale and a design that showed an affinity with the location of the wall & building… Members voted and selected Adnate’s submission”. (For more information on the project check out the Hosier and Rutledge lanes blog and the vimeo page).
Adnate’s submission was a portrait of a local indigenous boy gazing across the city towards Birrarung Marr which is a sacred space for the Wurundjeri people.
If you’re an artist and interested in submitting for Round 2 of Paint UP, send the Inc an email to express your interest (you’ll find the address on their blog)”
