Brim

Artist: Guido van Helten.
Completed in 2016

1991 Henty Hwy, Brim VIC 3391, Australia

In January 2016, nine months after the completion of the Northam Silos in Western Australia, the GrainCorp silos in Brim, in the Wimmera-Mallee region of Victoria, were 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.

The Brim mural infused the town and region of the Mallee with newfound energy. It offered anticipation of 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.
