The Metro Hotel On The Highway To Hell, Original Painting on Canvas by Elisha McGuckin
This original acrylic painting captures the unmistakable silhouette of the Metro Hotel, a long‑standing South Perth landmark perched above the sweep of Canning Highway. Rendered in bold colour and confident brushwork, the artwork highlights the hotel’s striking red signage and mid‑century façade against a vivid Western Australian sky.
More than an architectural study, the piece taps into Perth’s cultural history: Canning Highway is famously known as the “Highway to Hell,” a nickname embraced by locals and linked to AC/DC’s early days in the city. The painting blends this rock‑and‑roll mythology with the everyday rhythm of urban life, creating a work that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
Hand‑painted on premium stretched canvas and signed by the artist EM, this one‑of‑a‑kind piece brings a slice of Perth’s story into any home or collection.
