This epic silo mural painted on a series of towering concrete grain silos is an unexpected delight and a welcome site in the Western Australian countryside. The abstract work is on a stretch of four silos and was funded by the public.
Belonging to the CBH Group, the enormous grain silos are brought to life thanks to Atlanta-based artist HENSE. The mural is HENSE's largest work to date.
This stunning, curious installation is stands out against the sun-bleached hills in the background and even against the grey skies. Once a dismal, barren sight, this silo mural has completely enlivened the view and can even be considered a well-calculated marketing move on the part of the CBH Group.
