Blackbook Ink undertook a significant project for Sydney Water at their Bundeena pumping station facility. Situated adjacent to the skate park, this building had been a constant target for tagging and vandalism. To address this issue, Blackbook Ink proposed a unique graffiti solution, replacing the unsightly tags with high-quality graffiti art created by Australian renowned graffiti artists. By doing so, the aim was to discourage further vandalism while transforming the space into a visually appealing and respected artistic showcase.
For this particular project, our talented artist Sektor took the lead, skillfully incorporating graffiti lettering within the mural. This strategic approach ensured that other graffiti artists would take notice and appreciate the artwork, while the general public would view it as street art, often overlooking the underlying graffiti elements. As the focal point of the project, a captivating shark mural was painted on the main wall, capturing the essence of the nearby ocean and the frequent shark sightings in the area. Additionally, Sektor crafted an eye-catching octopus mural on the side wall, featuring graffiti lettering entwined within the tentacles. The impact of these vibrant and dynamic artworks resonated strongly with the local community, who expressed their delight at the transformation of an otherwise unattractive building.
The benefits of this mural project extend beyond the immediate visual enhancement. Not only does the graffiti art serve as a powerful deterrent against further vandalism, but it also instills a sense of pride within the business and the community. By replacing the defaced walls with stunning murals, the area becomes an inviting and vibrant space that fosters community engagement and appreciation for street art. Moreover, the transformation contributes to the overall beautification and revitalization of the local environment, providing a lasting positive impact for residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
