Oscar Sulich Kings Cross

oil on canvas

107 x 102 cm

This painting evokes the passing of time at the El Alamein Fountain in Sydney’s Kings Cross. People dissolve into the background as the sky turns a vivid VHS-like purple, heralding the approaching night. With its surrounding park, the fountain has seen many lives and decades pass by, reflected in its water.
