Mural of Patrick Coyle by LING in Melbourne, Australia
By Vidar
Street Artist LING
By LING at 314 Smith St, Collingwood in Melbourne, Australia.
LING: It represents the original owner of the Albion – Patrick Coyle – who also owned and lived at the The Grace Darling Hotel whilst also building neighbouring shops. Patrick was eventually deemed mentally unwell and committed to Kew cottages where he ultimately passed away – Another place that I painted when it was abandoned many years ago.
