Isn't this building slated to be torn down for Skye? I guess it could be worthwhile even if it's only around for a few years.
The mural by Freak Lunchbox could be covered by a redevelopment of the Dennis Building site too. |

WOW! So different from what we usually see in murals. This to me is ART and you can almost see the water running thru the boy's hands. The property owner needs to do a little landscaping with a few benches

Not a fan of murals in general. Too many of them (not this one) look like graffiti vandalism. Art is very subjective and with a mural, if the viewer finds it displeasing it is both large and very nearly permanent, so it is hard to avoid and has to be endured for a long time.
Given the likely demolition of this structure - I believe the building has been empty for a while - who would have commissioned this and why? |

Also wondering why a mural would be done on a building that won't be around for long... seems like a waste. |
Looks like the Downtown Halifax Business Commission kicked in for it: https://downtownhalifax.ca/news/down...-pretty-grants

https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/li...ilding-357579/ She knows this building could be pulled down, or a new development could go up right beside it, hiding her work from view, but she said it’s still worth all the effort. I personally think these are great. Not everybody is going to like every mural but they add more variety to the streetscape. That stretch of Hollis in particular is very drab. |

That's the beauty of art, not everybody is in favour of it, but it does affect everybody who sees it in one way or another. I've actually seen some graffiti on passing trains that is really cool, like a rolling art show. Then I've seen some 'tagging' type of graffiti that is just vandalism... it's all in how it's done and the viewers' perspective. Murals are taking it to a whole other level. I really like some of the murals that were done in Mulgrave Park, some really nice quality work there. :2cents: |

I'm always amazed when I see art done on a large scale like this that someone is able to do it by hand and do it so realistically...

NEW MURAL AT BARRINGTON & SOUTH ST.
Looking pretty good at the Barrington and South St. intersection by The Elmwood. Google Maps - https://www.google.ca/maps/@44.64015...7i16384!8i8192 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f8cd3933_b.jpg Source: My image |
I'm not actually sure if this is new or not, but I had never seen it before.

It's been around for a while.
