In 2005, Hurben went on a rampage and adhered his abstract paintings to the streets of Perth. The name ‘rorschach’ only came about in the second wave of paintings which were all symmetrical. The paintings have been described as flora and fauna which have been technologically modified. If you were lucky enough to be one of the few people to have been taken on a late-night tour of the artworks by Hurben himself, you know his incentive wasn’t vandalism, but to conjur thought and imagination in the general public.
If there is that much room for advertising, why can’t a portion of it be for artwork?
Shensing successfully found a remarkable ‘grey area’ between graffiti and art with his simple but clever pigeons. Pasted in groups and always on a ledge they (mostly) lasted until the weather naturally eroded them away.
