Additional Information

In this bold and vibrant pop art painting, Tracey Esteves reimagines Ned Kelly—the iconic Australian bushranger—not as an outlaw, but as a symbolic guardian standing sentinel over two of Sydney’s most bustling and historic thoroughfares: Martin Place and Pitt Street. Rendered in a striking hard-edged style, the composition bursts with colour and clarity, reflecting the energetic rhythm of city life.

Sydney’s beloved landmarks—Luna Park’s smiling entrance, the majestic Harbour Bridge, and the towering MLC building—anchor the urban scene with familiar presence. Above it all, a beautifully detailed decorative skull floats ethereally, watching over the city like a modern totem, suggesting both a memento mori and a nod to street and tattoo art aesthetics.

Esteves merges history, myth, and metropolitan life in this work, creating a playful yet powerful visual commentary on protection, place, and the persistent presence of cultural icons in the modern Australian narrative.
