Bieber asked to graffiti hotel
An invitation to compulsive graffitiest Justin Bieber has been posted on YouTube by Tryp Fortitude Valley – a new hotel that focuses on street art.
The hotel is currently under construction in Brisbane and is set to open in June 2014.
“Hey Justin we know you like to make your mark. ‘Own the City’ at Tryp Fortitude Valley in Brisbane. Come and create some art on our wall and leave your calling card in Oz.”
Bieber, under attack for grafitting the QT hotel’s walls on the Gold Coast, should choose Tryp for his next stay in Queensland,” says managing director of Wyndham Hotel Group, Barry Robinson. Tryp Fortitude Valley, is currently under construction in Brisbane and features works from world-acclaimed street artists Magee, Guido, Rone and Beastman.
The Constance Street site for the hotel came adorned with original street art, historically serving as an underground haven where artists created their works. Such artists included Magee, Guido, Rone and Beastman. These artists who began their careers spray painting abandoned buildings and railway tracks and are now acclaimed the world over for their commissioned murals.
Magee’s works adorn iconic city walls in Los Angeles, Sydney and Melbourne. Guido, who has created works throughout Europe and the UK, is in the midst of an artist’s residency in Iceland. Rone’s work was used as a backdrop in a recent Victoria’s Secret television commercial, while Beastman has just completed an exhibition at Ambush Gallery in Sydney.
Wyndham Hotel Group, in partnership with owner and developer Jay McPhee and award-winning architect Shane Denman, have collaborated with the street artists on a cutting-edge plan to preserve and celebrate the artworks. Imagery of the street art will be prominently featured in Tryp by Wyndham Fortitude Valley’s décor. Furthermore, one artist’s work will be showcased per floor through wallpaper and other design elements.
The four-storey, 65-room Tryp by Wyndham Fortitude Valley is currently under construction on Constance Street and is expected to be completed in June 2014.
