It’s always a treat to see a new style of Street Art emerging on streets. If you have been following Daniel O’Tooles practice this image will be familiar to you, its the canvas of a large scale wall that’s really exciting.
We asked Daniel to share with us the progression and process this work has taken, read below his statement.
My new mural piece on Barry Street in Northcote / Melb is the first of its kind. I have been working with video pieces and sculptural installations in the studio but I hadn't transcribed any of the video stills onto a wall until now. It's been interesting to see how the feeling of the screen still comes through and the video reference is less abstract than I had expected it would be. The scale and the format is really satisfying, I chose this wall as it had a texture that reminded me of film grain and the white space was a perfect frame for the panel, making it feel like a canvas hanging in a gallery.
