PUBLIC Silo Trail: Pingrup

Miami artist Evoca1’s 25-metre-high artwork, painted on giant grain storage silos in the Great Southern farming town of Pingrup pays tribute to Western Australia’s tenacious, resourceful farming communities. The artwork threads from the fabric of everyday life in Pingrup, Evoca1’s figurative depictions of the town’s iconic Pingrup races, its Merino sheep, its people, cattle dogs and even a tractor based precisely on one found on the main street of town, all tell a story about the character of the community.

The artist took 15 days and 230 litres of paint to create the mural, which entailed a series of artworks on three individual silos, each 25 metres high and 15 metres wide. Working with rollers and brushes atop a boom lift from dawn to dusk, Evoca1 battled high winds and several days of rain.
