Sydney Royal Easter Show Retro – Whenever I look at this painting of the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 1979, I hear Alicia Key’s singing Empire State of Mind. It doesn’t matter if you’re a child of the 1970’s, or a millennial baby, Sydney’s Royal Easter show is a memory machine.

This artwork is part of my grey tone series and is painted from the steps leading up to the Victor Trumper Stand. I was on my way to see the 9 pm fireworks and had just come from the Hordern Pavilion, depicted in the middle of the painting, after buying all of my one dollar showbags.

The sign’s orange clour has been chosen in memory of the 1970s Formica kitchen and because it was during the 1970s that AMATIL became Coca-Cola AMATIL in Australia. The AMATIL Centre is now the Fox Movie Studios and the bustle of people at the fast food outlet has long since disappeared. What has not disappeared is that the Sydney Cricket Ground and Fox Studios are still using this special location as a memory making machine.

Sydney Royal Easter Show comes with a 46 second video revealing the story of its making.
