Backside by The Sea

Posted on November 29, 2021 by AHC McDonald

This would have been classic The Worst of Perth back in the day. City Beach. Had to post it even in retirement. I was laughing too much to even check the artist. Nice that Perth public sculpture can still deliver.

Thalidomide Wrap

Posted on October 3, 2016 by AHC McDonald

The appallingly awful insult to John Curtin statue has finally been transformed, possibly by Christo himself into something a little more interesting. One of Perth’s most inept bronzes, kind of looks OK wrapped. Thanks to SW for the pic. It … Continue reading →

Walk of tugs

Posted on June 21, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Stirling Council is proposing a walk of “fame” from the Astor right up into the rub and tug precinct of Inglewood. Plaques and states celeberating prominent West Australians. Possibly prominent WA willies that have been tugged. Why don’t they just … Continue reading →

Staggering Distance

Posted on May 2, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Now, finally, a masterpiece of public art in Perth! This depiction of punters staggering and chundering their way through Perth City link, no doubt moving through to defecate in Yagan square, finally leaving their soiled undies and empty wine coolers … Continue reading →

Twiggy’s Turd

Posted on April 13, 2016 by AHC McDonald

In the tradition of billionaires creating iron turds in their honour, Bento shows off Andrew Forrest’s version in the bleak, depressing environs of the awful and shitty ex Merlin Hotel, now Hyatt precinct. It has it all, bricks, glass urinal … Continue reading →

Billionaire Blobs 1

Posted on March 31, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Bento was outraged by our billionaires being hailed by means of rock blobs. This one of Lang is oddly near to – certainly within stenching distance – of the dunnies at Hillarys. For some reason. There’s a fence to stop … Continue reading →

The Pedo on The Cake

Posted on March 9, 2016 by AHC McDonald

They did try to spoil the effect of the new City Library by polishing up the terrible statue of Pedo Stirling and putting it up outside the front door. I don’t know why they couldn’t have taken advantage of the … Continue reading →

La Pav

Posted on February 8, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Edward de Bozo notes what appears to be a representation of the yoni to Matthew Pavlich’s Lingham in East Fremantle. Or maybe it’s his sister? In any case it’s going to cost a fortune to relocate it to Cock Burn. … Continue reading →

Visiting Elizabeth Quay

Posted on February 3, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Well I guess I had to go down there. Well it’s not exactly bad, just a bit underwhelming and pointless. After the trees have grown for 30 years, there might be some shade relief to the merciless baking paving. The … Continue reading →
