Tamika Grant-Iramu has always had a special connection to the South Bank Parklands, finding new secret pathways through a maze of natural chaos. The nearby Parklands for the artist are a place of connection with the verdant landscape of Brisbane, therefore it was a natural progression to depict on the wall of the QAG Cafe the vibrant colours of the frangipani and bougainvillea flowers, both a feature of the adjacent parklands. By bringing the outside inside, Grant-Iramu has created a tranquil atmosphere within the Gallery... why not visit the Cafe next time you are at South Bank and view the mural.
