Fountain Gate, Melbourne, 2019 – Spray Paint 

A shopping centre restaurant feature wall can transform a space while complimenting the fit out environment. For this particular piece coloured stripes either corner create a common band, reminiscent of Vietnamese flavours forming a foundation for the artwork to grow. Furthermore, with as much interaction as possible having a central character looking back at the stacked items on the rear of his bicycle. Give a great choice of colour and depth. Intended to provoke an optical mix to the viewer's eye, with all the random items falling, starts to tell a short story about the Viet Boy. Another detail to note is the boy carrying as small sriracha bottle in his basket providing a nice touch to the Vietnamese infused artwork. The chosen colour palette contributes a warm painting to match the fit out, with an array of pastel and light green colours for the serving area. Additionally this painting consists of a handful of Vietnamese elements falling around the main character, to enhance that value derived from Vietnamese cuisine.
