Raf McDonald: Market Mural
15 March 2021 - 16 March 2026
Incinerator Gallery
Location: Mason Square Everage Street Moonee Ponds
Market Mural by Raf McDonald is a remarkable public art installation located on the exterior wall of Everage Street in Moonee Ponds. The artwork pays homage to the history of the site which was once a bustling marketplace.
Through its multi-layered composition the mural invites viewers to reflect on the fading or emerging presence of the old marketplace in their perception.
Rafaella the artist behind the mural employs the visual language of abstraction a style of art that does not directly represent objects or figures.
This approach allows for individual interpretation encouraging viewers to engage with the shapes figures and gestures presented in the artwork based on their own thoughts and experiences.
The color palette and painting techniques employed in Market Mural deliberately evoke a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of the 1990s era when murals were traditionally hand-painted with brushes and stencils.
This choice aims to capture the distinct gestures tonal shifts and textures that characterized murals of that time.
Market Mural serves as a commemoration of both past and present concepts of place. It not only acknowledges the historical significance of the former marketplace but also emphasizes the role of public art in celebrating local neighborhoods and communities.
By transforming the building's facade into a vibrant and thought-provoking artwork the mural contributes to the cultural landscape and enriches the shared experience of residents and visitors alike.
