Artist's Description of the artwork
This art deco influenced mural is another Rail and Train dedication that focusses on the rich history of Frankston train station and its link as an interchange for the Mornington Peninsula. This homage focusses on a classic steam engine locomotive that still operates on the Mornington Tourist Railway and an A class diesel locomotive that travelled from Frankston to Crib Point.
This mural is a take on nostalgic classic art deco travel posters with a new age spin by simplifying the detail in the design, using bold pastel colors and glorifying elegant trains of the past. Not only is this mural a dedication to rail history but also a juxtaposition of today vs a bygone era of a time.
