The story behind Guido van Helten’s masterpiece

Mural artist Guido van Helten has transformed more than 60 powerful images into huge industrial yet intricate artworks, leaving his giant footprint across the globe. In February, the Brisbane-raised artist returned to his own patch in South East Queensland for a month and 50 litres of paint, transforming two walls of Southern Cross University’s 10-storey building at its Gold Coast campus, with a breathtaking view of Kirra Beach from his boomlift.
