100SQM Michael Jackson Tribute Unveiled Today in Horsley Park
Australia’s leading brick company, Austral Bricks, will unveil Australia’s largest tribute to Michael
Jackson today (Thursday, October 29) in Sydney.
The company is unveiling a 10 metre x 10 metre mural of Michael Jackson made entirely of bricks
over a five day period by J&M Langdon bricklayers.
The tribute is a special Brick Art™ tribute to the King of Pop the day after This Is It premieres and
also a demonstration of the versatility and contemporary nature of what can be achieved with bricks.
“Austral Bricks is excited about the opportunities that Brick Art™ can play in the creation of unique
and interesting feature murals for architects and designers”, said Austral Bricks’ marketing manager,
Brett Ward.
Mr Ward added "Michael Jackson was one of the world’s greatest entertainers and on the day he died,
my staff - many of whom are avid fans - thought it fitting that he be immortalised in brick". We plan to
change the brick face every few months to become a continually changing work of art for motorists on
the M7".
The Burlesque bricks used in the mural are in bold colours and not normally associated with bricks
including green, yellow, white, red, blue and black. The Dynasty glazed bricks are also available in
five dynamic colours.
"Burlesque bricks and Dynasty were chosen to enable the bricklayers to use the colours to form
Michael Jackson’s face and the background to the mural. We see the mural as a piece of art that will
inspire architects and designers to create stylish, contemporary feature panels in buildings", he added.
