A mural created by Pauly B and projection mapping by Mindfunk Visuals merges elements of the contemporary art world with the digital realm. Through the innovative use of projection mapping, the once static surface is dynamically brought to life with captivating animations.

The woman in the mural is embedded in the landscape. The leaves overlapping her eyes highlights this connection. She is feeling all of the bliss that comes with being at one with nature, which is really being at one with ourselves

Whakatāne is a town that is intrinsically linked to the natural environment. Framed by the Pacific Ocean, scenic reserves, stunning rocks and cliffs, the iconic Moutohorā (Whale) Island, and the plains.

ARTIST BIO

Pauly B Hi, I'm Pauly B. I paint murals because the human spirit matters, how we feel matters, and our environments matter; I create sublime spaces so people can live inspired lives. I am a highly experienced mural specialist who has been sharing beauty and meaning through art since 1998. I am adept at painting very large scale murals, as well as much smaller ones. I relish the power my murals have to build pride in our cities and tell stories. My style is unapologetically unique: a special combination of peaceful and vibrant, conceptual and ethereal. My murals are love letters to cities and homes and the people within them. My background is in graphic design, illustration, arts education, creative community development, and directing major arts events, including Hamilton’s Boon Street Art Festival. My calm and mindful demeanour has been cultivated by a two-decade long meditation practice. I'm always up for an interesting conversation, a fantastic adventure, or an unusual challenge.

Mind Funk I am Mind Funk Visuals, a mysterious intellectual who delves into the world of LED art and projection mapping. My mind is a labyrinth of creativity and innovation, where I constantly push the boundaries of what is possible with the fusion of art and technology.

As an artist, I use LEDs and projection mapping to create stunning visual displays that leave my audience in awe. My art is not just about the aesthetics, but also about the emotions and experiences that I can convey through it. I believe that art should be a journey, and my work takes my audience on a thrilling ride through the depths of their minds.
