I spotted this mural of Salvador Dali on the side of a building down Butter Factory lane in Whangarei recently. His shocked sneering facial expression gets me and amuses me at the same time but the quote I think is quite true.
The mural it seems has a story; Whangarei District Council landscape architect Tracey Moore said she had driven past the mural, originally on the door of a building that had been earmarked for demolition and thought it needed to be saved. It was commissioned by one of my favourite artists, Rodrigo Rozas.
Linking up with Mural Monday.
