An artist talk with Martin Edge explored the inspiration and creative process behind his vibrant exhibition Welcome to Brisbane, joined by Pia Robinson from The Culture Crusader and facilitated by MoB Assistant Curator Gabrielle Bergman.
Attendees heard about Martin’s large-scale murals, which transformed the gallery walls with two vibrant and animated scenes of Brisbane city. After the talk, guests stayed for a book signing of Martin’s new colouring book and had the chance to connect with the artist.

Over three weeks, from 27 April to 15 May, Martin Edge brought the Fairfax Gallery to life with vibrant, large-scale murals celebrating Brisbane. Throughout the installation period, visitors had the unique opportunity to observe the artworks taking shape in real time and engage with Martin as he worked, gaining firsthand insight into his creative process. The project offered a rare behind-the-scenes look at the development of a major artwork within the gallery space. Learn more about the project here.
