About the artist
Rory Lynch-Wells emerged on the Melbourne art scene through prominent public murals depicting Ben Simmons (Chapel Street, Windsor) and Carl Cox (Acland Street, St Kilda). Since then, he has collaborated with organisations across the sports and arts industries, producing large-scale murals, live painting activations, and digital artworks.
Rory is best known for his collage-like style, where abstract colour, pattern, and reference are layered to form a unified image. This approach lets each work tell a story beyond what's immediately visible, while staying connected to its subject and place.
About the work
“I lived in a share house on the border of Windsor and Prahran for six years. I loved the courts, parks, pool, locals nights, the Astor, op shops, parties and all the rest of it. The common thread, however, was the people I experienced it with. I know this because we had a ritual of walking to the Princes Highway overpass just to yell over the traffic, something a little concerning if done alone. This mural is my attempt to capture the feeling those years gave me, and leave a little piece of it for the Windsor community to tap into.”
