The Albacutya Silo Art was completed by artist Kitt Bennett in May 2021
Melbourne artist Kitt Bennett was inspired to create an artwork that tells a story of growing up in the country as a youth. “I have fond memories of exploring the bush and looking for yabbies under rocks in creeks with my parents.
Reflecting on this weird and wonderful time as an adult is something that brings me a lot of happiness.”
“I wanted to keep the artwork somewhat surreal and distorted from reality.
Much like the nature of stories from the past. They often become exaggerated.”
“I wanted to make this painting very bright and full of colour in an attempt to reflect the rainbow theme
and to separate it from its environment.
The Silo itself is old but the artwork aims to breathe a new life into the landscape.”
Albacutya Silo is found just 10km north of Rainbow.
This Silo Art project was made possible by the Victorian State Government,
Wimmera Mallee Tourism and Hindmarsh Shire Council.
