“I was inspired by a recent trip to Hawaii,” said artist Peter Strong. “It was the catalyse, that made me appreciate the Pacific and its cultures. The restaurant will be filled with light boxes and canvas that fuse screen printing, stencil art and painting – it’s artistic street art and illustration, mixed with abstract and pop art.”

The launch was managed by upcoming Sydney events company Event Zen.
