This free standing mural was created within the existing brand guidelines of Wintervention, a winter festival and ice rink presented by the ACT Government each year in Civic Square, Canberra ACT.
Created as a backdrop for social media posts, this piece was designed featuring an unique hand lettered slogan, and painted off-site by Bohie Palecek of Red Hat Design Co.
This project was commissioned by Show Pony Events for Wintervention, Canberra ACT.
Based in Braidwood, NSW, BOHIE creates art, illustration, public space murals, and creative workshopping experiences that explore wonder and connection to each other and to the natural world.
She works alongside educational institutions, government agencies, community focus groups and stewards of the natural world to design change-making campaigns for each creative project. Bohie utilises a research-based methodology to find inspiration for her artworks, resulting in 2D images which are laden with deeper stories and symbolic meaning.
This narrative driven conceptual development injects her unique authenticity and grass-roots integrity into the public arena, which she sees as a conscious challenge to public advertising. In a time of rapid change, extreme instability and a globally recognised feeling of imminent threat, Bohie’s art provides messages of hope and empowerment for a changed future.
