John Olsen | 7:30 Report


ABC's 7:30 Report give us an insight into the creation of John Olsen's newest commission King Sun for the Walker Corporation's billion-dollar complex at Collins Square, Melbourne. Watch as John negotiates the difficulties of creating the 6 x 8 meter mural and triumphs with an iconic Olsen burst of energy and colour. Tim Olsen reflects on the process saying, "The mural in an ironic way became the source of his own energy, that he was drawn back to, because it was almost like a kind of metaphor to keep living life." The newest Olsen masterpiece King Sun can now be viewed in the lobby of 'Tower B' at 1 Collins Square, Melbourne Docklands. Watch the 7:30 Report segment here3Olsen_730_ Olsen_730
