Description
"Painting from the Same Palette," is a mural in the series of the same name by artists Danny Devenny and Mark Ervine. Devenny is a prominent Republican, former IRA prisoner and Catholic muralist. Ervine is also a well-known artist, and son of the late Unionist politician David Ervine. The mural was painted in 2008 to mark the tenth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement and the decade of peace.
The mural depicts an artist painting with the colours of both Protestant Unionists and Catholic Loyalists. The colours are arrayed in a spectrum upon the same palette. Images in the background of the mural display the violence of the Troubles, while children carrying banners in the foreground lead a cheer for peace. The banners have two slogans "History is a Rearview Mirror" and "You must always check your back unless you keep focused on the road ahead You're Going Nowhere!"
