In January 2016, nine months after the completion of the Northam Silos in Western Australia, Brim in the Wimmera-Mallee region of Victoria was painted by world renowned Australian artist Guido Van Helten.
Guido was raised in Brisbane and was a graffiti artist in his youth. He is now well known for his photorealistic murals and we are lucky to have three silos and two water tanks in the “Trail” painted by Guido at this time.
The Brim mural infused the town and region of the Mallee with new found energy. It offered anticipation of positive growth and prosperity for the surrounding farmers and families of the area and was the beginning of the Silo Art Trail in Victoria.
The faces on the mural are anonymous, but they are said to portray a multi-generational quartet of farmers both male and female who show the strength and resilience that is required to be a country Victorian farmer.
Parking Information
