Description of Artwork:
This mural is a vibrant desert landscape inspired by the incredible rock formations of Joshua Tree National Park in California, USA. Following a trip around the desert landscapes of North America a few years back, I have aimed to bring the essence of a Psychedelic Western to the Young Street Tavern. This large scale wall acts as a portal to another environment of a saturated and surrealist colours palette, somewhat familiar to the viewer but perhaps not of this realm.
