Collins street women

Posted on January 31, 2016 by Mary C

Two large murals featuring women’s faces can been seen on Little Collins street just east of Exhibition street. Both were painted by street artist Rone. The most prominent mural is 12m high and can easily be seen from the street.

Large mural of a woman's head on a building, black and white and gray, one hand is touching her cheek.

below: Slightly back from the street is a smaller mural with the faces of three more women. Most of Rone’s work features women’s faces.

mural in grey tones of three women's heads on black background. Flower garden in front of them, city buildings behind them.

below: To me, it looks like she is trying to rub or scratch off the security camera.

Surrounding the CitiPower Collingwood power substation at the corner of Easey and Wellington streets is a large monochromatic mural. It is by Juddy Roller (a company specialising in street art and graffiti management) and it involved collaboration between street artists including Rone, Adnate, Mayo, Guido Van Helton and Askew.
