city’s burgeoning street art
LARGE: No Place Like Home was created by Flox in the
central city’s Plymouth Lane for $15,000. (Right) – Brandon
Warrell’s mural was created on the side of the Ibis Hotel
on Hereford St late last year.
The temporary hoardings
around the Spark building site
done by Amber Moke last year
cost $5000.
Two more pieces were done in
2011 and 2012. The first, Wayne
Youle’s I seem to have temporarily
misplaced my sense of humour, on
Colombo St cost $6863.
It shows outlines of tools for rebuilding
hanging alongside other
precious objects.
Ash Keating’s Concrete Propositions
was created by throwing,
spraying and firing paint onto the
concrete wall on Manchester St.
It cost $3045.
Last month, The Star revealed
city council funded organisation
ChristchurchNZ spent $10,000
commissioning the mural of former
Kiwis coach David Kidwell
before the team’s dismal Rugby
League World Cup campaign.
A city council spokeswoman
said street art enhanced
streetscapes and buildings,
adding colour and interest, particularly
next to cleared sites or
damaged buildings.
“Experience tells us that, in
general at least, a well-executed
mural will deter tagging vandalism
for a good period of time,
though not indefinitely.”
She said street art, often requested
by community boards,
also engaged local artists,
developed connections in the
community and raised the profile
of street art in Christchurch.
Last month, Hostel World
ranked Christchurch as one of
the 13 best cities in the world
to see “jaw-dropping” street art
