This mural was set up in order to revitalise Market Lane’s neglected laneway. It also cleverly disguises the patchwork of facades with panels of rich and vibrant colours that are highlighted from the black vertical and horizontal bars.
Right across the lane is another set of mural from the Manly Market Lane Project. Painted on a giant canvas by different local artists, this mural is set to be changed every after few weeks. People are free to watch when new artists come in to paint in open air for this street mural. The mural is painted and styled uniquely every set-up and people are always look forward to seeing its final outcome revealed.
In November 2018, the Manly Corso mural was set on a temporary display to cover hoardings during the reconstruction process of a particular retail building that is adjacent to St Matthew’s Church. The mural was created to provide an aesthetic Corso whilst the redevelopment is ongoing. This was also an opportunity for the Manly’s local artists to expound on their artistic expression in creating a mural that is in line with the spirit of Manly.
