A THIRD figure has been painted on decommissioned silos at Brim. International street artist Guido van Helten is painting a 30m by 30m scene on GrainCorp silos. Brim Active Community Group’s Shane Wardle said in the past few days van Helten added more detail to the second person and started the third person. “This has been a great distraction for the area from the trying times of this year’s harvest,” he said. “It’s very good therapy for the area.” The silos were built in the 1930s. “They were never designed to last this long and are still in working order, but due to the larger size of trucks and farms they were decommissioned about three years ago.” Mr Wardle thanked Regional Arts Victoria for seeing the project as a worthy cause for a grant. The community group put money towards the $10,000 project, along with Yarriambiack Shire and Regional Arts Victoria.
