Two stunning Fitzroy Gardens-inspired artworks have been unveiled at Mirvac's recently completed luxury residential development in East Melbourne, The Eastbourne, an inner-city eden and new legacy for apartment living, delivered in partnership with Freemasons Victoria. The paintings by Cape Town, South Africa artist, Zarah Cassim, who is represented by Melbourne-based gallery, Otomys Contemporary, adorn The Eastbourne's opulent main lobby. Ms Cassim, whose work often focuses on natural landscapes, took inspiration from the beauty and light of the Fitzroy Gardens during her visit to Melbourne earlier this year, when she worked on the 3.2-metre (w) by 4.0-metre (h) paintings from an Abbotsford studio. A $460 million residential landmark on the site of the former Dallas Brooks Hall, The Eastbourne has fulfilled Mirvac's vision to reimagine urban life at an exceptional Melbourne address, while paying tribute to the Fitzroy Gardens and heritage of Freemasonry.
