Chris Hemsworth turns to indigenous artist to paint mural in $20M mansion

Chris Hemsworth has added an Aboriginal mural to his new $20 million Byron Bay mega build.

The Thor star, shared a sneak peek inside the home, revealing that one of the rooms was decorated with a mural by an Indigenous painter named Otis Hope Carey.

The property sits hidden away on 4.2ha at Broken Head overlooking Seven Mile Beach, and the hilltop estate is shaping up to be utterly magnificent.

Chris shared a series of images that highlighted the intricate detail that went into the mural.

“Had a big empty wall that needed some love and was beyond thankful to have one of my favourite artists @otishopecarey help out!” Hemsworth posted to Instagram.

“Darrundang Gaagal (Thanking The Ocean). “

Chris revealed that the mural “focuses on representational imagery of the ceremonial dancing of the Gumbaynggirr people, weaved together with traditional forms in thanks to their totemic spiritual emblem ‘GAAGAL’ (Ocean).”

“Long shifting black lines ripple across the wall demonstrating the power and energy emanating from dancing feet stomping into the ground.” he said.

“Blue circular line work is painted over the top throughout the composition in reference to the Ocean in an act of thanks for its healing powers and all that is received from it.”

“In this piece, Otis utilises traditional symbols and imagery in grandiose scale in a display of contemporary practice and thought.”

The post received over 1.4M likes on Instagram, with Ryan Reynolds among those liking the post.

Since the Byron Bay build sprung up, it’s sparked a heap of controversy after months of complaints from neighbours.

Locals have been previously disgruntled by the sprawling ‘mega mansion’, and labelled it a 'shopping centre,' 'concrete palace' and 'the new Woolies'.
