One of Australia’s favourite street artists, Joel Van Moore aka Vans the Omega, has brought his signature style to the walls of The Tavern with the help of a Flinders University student. Line, shape and form – rendered in an explosive palette of colour – transform this neck of the Hub into the freshest hang-out on campus.

Geometric Echoes was commissioned in 2015 as part of the revitalisation of the Flinders University Tavern in the Student Hub. Created by prolific street artist Joel Van Moore (aka Vans the Omega) with the help of a Flinders University student, the mural employs linework, geometric form and vivid colour to envelop the Tavern with energy.

Since the 1990s, Joel Van Moore has called Adelaide home, while travelling and creating street art worldwide. His work is influenced by ancient scripts, architecture, engineering, nature and ideas of movement or balance.
