The Block Collection – ‘Diptych Nostalgia of The Block arcade’

Andrea Ward

ORIGINAL collage work on beautiful Italian paper framed, mounted in black timber with glass

Special ‘Mosaic’ feature of The Collins street entrance to the arcade

From a young girl working in fashion to eventually owning my own business in Melbourne’s iconic Block arcade on Collins Street Melbourne, I fell in love with the building & the stunning mosaic floor introduced by Italian artisans around 1892. Along with many rich stories of people ‘Doing the Block’  it became a very special meeting place under the glass dome roof. This art work pays homage to returned service lovers that would meet under the dome & I wanted to capture the feel of Melbourne & the arcade around that time. The special mosaic papers in the work are from original art work from a collection of stunning Italian silk scarves, ties and accessories that I produced depicting the mosaic tiles of that amazing floor during my days of operating a store in the arcade. Soft original colours with copper trim feature in the painting.

Very much a one only piece, this is a Melbourne collectors piece of art beautifully framed & ready to hang.

  • Front features Artists brass logo & signed on back
  • Professionally framed ( timber, mount & glass front)
  • Overall size approx 134 x 85 cm ( 2 x pieces) & part of The Block Collection
