Rame Yoh - Robot Fish




I was going through some of my photos from a few years ago when we lived in Mount Maunganui, I had forgotten about this mural I had snapped a photo of which was painted on a building along the main street.

Robotic Fish (as I call it) was painted by Rame Yoh as part of the Street Prints Mauao Campaign from 2015 - 2017. Apparently there was more around the back of the building but I didn't realize this hence me only getting this side.

I love the idea of artists painting buildings, I think it discourages untidy graffiti and allows them to show off their talents.

Linking up with Mural Monday and Our World Tuesday.

I agree with you on having artists paint buildings like this. The creativity shown throughout the world by these muralists is fascinating.

It is certainly interesting; kind of a steampunk vibe maybe? ... and wherever you stood to get the picture was perfect...I can’t ever seem to get a good angle to get a whole mural. (But the ones we have (in Oregon) aren’t that good anyway. I don’t really even see any here in Florida.

Interesting mural Aimz, thanks for participating.

That's a good one. I'm not sure why anyone would actually make a robotic fish but, it certainly makes a nice mural.

Getting artists to decorate building is quite the thing these days and much to be applauded in my view.

I love the vibrant colors and creative design of the "robotic fish" mural. What a delightful way to cover a wall.
