'The Local #2'

This original stencil painting by Melbourne artist Geoff Cunningham captures the nostalgic character of Australian suburban streetscapes. Inspired by ordinary neighbourhoods and everyday childhood moments, Geoff blends hand-cut stencils and layered spray techniques to create bold light, shadow and detail. Each piece celebrates the warmth, simplicity and familiarity of retro Australian life.

"This is based on an old photo of the Alan Gale Hotel in Fitzroy. I love the retro feel of this image, and wonder about what the story behind the mother & child could be - are they simply walking past, or are they waiting for the father to finish up at the pub?"
