James Reka – Lighthouse Foundation Mural

It has been a few moments since we heard from James Reka (Reka One, HF v.17) of Melbourne, Australia. But rest assured that this modern day powerhouse of artistry has been quite the busy bee during the whole of that time. We've recently gotten wind that Reka has completed a new piece on the side of a large building in his local downtown area. In his own words, the artist quips, "Recently I completed a 5-day commissioned mural on 2 sides of an old 2 storey red-brick warehouse in Richmond, Melbourne. The building belongs to the Lighthouse Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to empowering young people to take responsibility for their own lives." - Nathan Spoor.
