Orange's latest murals installed in inner city laneways

Artist Catherine O'Donnell was in Orange this week to install Orange's latest set of public art murals, a key element of Orange City Council's FutureCity upgrade of the central business district.

The Blue Mountains' artist is known for her hyperrealist black and white drawings of everyday suburban architecture.

Ms O'Donnell joins artists Yanni Pounartzis of Canberra, and Tully Moore and Sandon Gibbs-O'Neill of Orange, in contributing to the first instalment of the FutureCity Public Art Project.

Ms O'Donnell worked with local sign-writing contractors, Tint and Protect, to install a series of seven public artworks on five facades in the CBD on Wednesday 3 November.

Despite their photo-like appearance, the images are highly-detailed charcoal drawings of domestic doors and windows printed onto aluminium film.
