Culvert Mural

Bonsai, Multiple Artists

The reconstruction of the culvert under Mortlake Road in North Warrnambool paved the way for two of the city’s most engrossing pieces of street art.

Street artist and former Warrnambool resident Scottie “Bonsai” Neoh adorned both sides of the “Blue” pedestrian underpass with whales, fish and birds.

The work was completed ahead of the culvert’s reopening in September 2014.

The “Orange” culvert was created in January 2015 as part of a street art workshop run by Bonsai and fellow professionals Hiroyasu “TwoOne” Tsuri, David “Ghostpatrol” Booth and Jun Inoue.

A team of local artists eager to learn more about street art and the process of mural painting combined with the four instructors to create a fascinating mural which contrasts wonderfully with Bonsai’s original mural.
