Location: West Leederville Station underpass

Asset Type: Painting

Provenance: Subiaco

Decommissioned Status: 2021 June

Description: This work is a collaboration between artists Ever and Gaia, and was commissioned as part of PUBLIC. PUBLIC is a celebration of urban art and creativity. Whilst both artists worked over the whole area of the underpass, the colorful artwork is typical of Ever's artwork. Ever is a former graffiti writer who began painting in the streets of Buenos Aires in the 1990's.He believes that revolutions are told on walls and that graffiti is a point of connection for people. The monochromatic art is aligned with the works of GAIA, a self proclaimed "skinny white kid" from the Upper East Side. He is currently based in Brooklyn and partly in Baltimore. He paints under the name of the Greek earth goddess, reflecting his preoccupation with the idea that the earth is an organism. Commissioned by the City of Subiaco in partnership with Perth Transport Authority and FORM
