Artwork colour call delivers visual impact

A LANDMARK Dandenong business became a blank canvas for budding artists.
The Dandenong Pavilion offered up its external walls to Melbourne street artist DVATE and the local KSA crew to transform.
“They got a crew together and just went for it,” owner Dani Zeini said.
“They just love to paint. These guys, any opportunity to do something they’re on it straight away.
“The back wall was pretty bad. There was nothing there, it was pretty empty.”
It’s now filled with colourful designs that include a burger monster surrounded by beef and buns.
“There’s a nice skyline at the back with a neon sign,” Mr Zeini said.
“It’s urban. I really like the style.
“It kind of fits in with the food that we do.
“The response has been great. A lot of people take photos of it.
“Visually I think it’s had a strong impact.”
Mr Zeini plans to change the design annually.
