Discover the breathtaking Lake Albacutya Silo Art with Life with No Anchor! This spectacular installation in Victoria's northwest transforms a simple grain silo into a vibrant masterpiece by Melbourne artist Kitt Bennett.
🎨 About the Artwork:
Completed: May 2021
Location: 10km north of Rainbow, Victoria
Artist: Kitt Bennett (Melbourne)
Features: Boy on dirt bike & woman with yabby
Style: Surreal interpretation of rural childhood memories
🌈 The Story:
Bennett's colorful creation reflects the "Rainbow" theme of the nearby town while deliberately departing from realism. "I wanted to keep the artwork somewhat surreal and distorted from reality. Much like the nature of stories from the past, they often become exaggerated," explains the artist.
This groundbreaking project marks the first silo in Hindmarsh Shire to join the famous Wimmera Mallee Silo Art Trail, creating a vital tourism link and celebrating Australian rural identity.
