“Stepping out onto North Terrace after a visit to the Art Gallery of South Australia in 2004, I was greeted by a scene like this. I was hooked! My rainy-day passion had begun. The red banner used to say ‘Gallery’ in the early 2000s and has since changed to a black one with the initials AGSA. I took the artistic liberty of converting it to the original red – the painting deserved so much more than black!” – Mike Barr
