Terrace Reflections
Terrace reflections is an ongoing place activation initiative that supports artists to display artwork in an outdoor environment for the whole community to enjoy and experience in Raymond Terrace. The program aims to:
- inspire the community’s imagination, allowing them to engage with arts and culture beyond the confines of a museum or gallery
- enhance Raymond Terrace’s beautiful environment and create a vibrant, eye catching display.
- reinforce the unique identity and historic environment of Raymond Terrace.
- provide a highly visible platform for creative expression and development.
To locate these pieces of art, head to the Best & Less Shop, corner of William and Sturgeon Street, Raymond Terrace.
Artist: Otto van de Wijgaart
Otto van de Wijgaart, a passionate Pop Culture artist from Medowie, is renowned for his colourful depictions of performance artists across various genres – music, movies, theatre, television, and radio. His fascination with popular culture began early, reflected in his highly engaging drawings that resemble a “Where’s Wally” of historical and contemporary celebrities. Otto’s vibrant and character-filled art captures the essence of his subjects, distinguishing him as a rising Pop Culture icon. You can meet Otto at The VIBE Studios in Carrington, where he is available for commissioned work. This collection of artworks, “The Silly Season Series - Raymond Terrace”, was created to express the joy of the festive season and ‘gift’ the local community Christmas joy, celebration, and POP colour! It is hoped that the artwork brings joy and evokes memories of this special time of year. “If I had 15 minutes of fame, I’d use my time to say… Merry Christmas Raymond Terrace!”
