Rejuvenating civic pride
Street artists such as Bertie Louise are injecting a dose of magic that is rejuvenating Perth's civic pride and inspiring collaborative practices. Perth's facelift and artistic flair are partly due to many young street artists. Street art led to creating interesting laneways with quaint little shops, and cafes bring the Perth CBD to life.

Communities where people come together in sculpture parks lined with terraces, stained windows, and paved streets. Can street art rejuvenate our civic pride?
In the 1980's some intuitive kids sitting on the fringe were inspired to splash some colour back onto mother earth with street art. Once considered illegal, through the efforts of many great art lovers, many blots on the landscape are animated by some very talented young Perth artists.
If artists were provocative in the past, modern artists are contributing to community spirit by enriching the built environment and reviving the enduring conversations bestowed on us by art history.
There's beauty in the continual nature of the human discourse of street art. Graffiti etched on sacred rocks to communicate a world of possibilities existed since the Stone Age. Carvings turned into language that expressed the beauty of the art, using words created by the art. Art produce works to be treasured for their beauty or emotional power, as long as it the visual expression of human creativity and imagination.
After all, humanity has created the grey skyline that has replaced our beautiful natural landscape. In an age of technological advances beyond the layman's comprehension, the grey is turning darker, and humans are resisting the collective mentality. That has resulted in our current state of innovation. Where public open spaces filled with people expressing their imagination come together in appreciation of the opportunity.
Artists that produce street art consciously use their creativity to create aesthetically pleasing pieces. Such as a showcase, Concept Collision, curated by Bertie Louise, a Perth-born artist, specialising in painting large murals. The intention of the exhibition is having like-minded artists collaborate to produce greatness, rather than shining the spotlight on one particular artist.
Working out of the Up on Hay studio in Subiaco, Bertie is also available for almost any kind of private commission, and will happily to do live events and collaborations.
The collaborative theme in all of Bertie's works in inspiring, engaging and injecting funds into many needed causes. Her live painting at the Brainchild charity ball 2016 sold for $5,000 which was donated to research for child brain cancer.
Bertie's style is magnetic as observed by a broad audience as she recreated them on the canvas for the auction. Bertie recalled, "Quite a few of the guests commented on how much they loved to see the progress of the painting and how it all came together in the end."
Street artists, such as Bertie, have brought empty spaces back to life with splashes of colour that connect the micro to the macro contributing to the fascinating and enduring conversations. Bertie's live shows are great entertainment for guests during your event that captures the moment in a painting to treasure or auction at a fundraiser.
Artists are intensely aware of the public and capable of shifting their audience's perception, the first step to change. Street art ignites conversations about space and place that the world needs to have and through debate brings people together.
The success of public arts programs, such as the one in Perth, is challenging the critic's objections of limitations, interpretation, need, and value.
Perth is the city of public art, delighting and challenging the senses by bringing people together to debate space and place. According to Bertie, the best place to be at the moment. With community involvement and collaboration on the rise new practices are being established, and artists can earn a reasonable living.
Once again people are valuing difference, beauty and creativity because society is also in need of some well-being. Triple bottom liners should consider investing in street artists as they make great use of resources, offer an excellent return on investment and enrich social capital. All three can be measured just look at the growth in the city of Perth.
