While Debra has been climbing hilltop towns in Italy I have been walking the streets of lovely Melbourne.
Melbourne’s street art offers a feast of colour, ideas and energy. These changing galleries enliven the ordinary and change the way we view beautiful Melbourne. Annual art commissions transform laneways into intriguing, captivating and sometimes challenging spaces for artistic exploration and expression. Common street art forms in Melbourne include large and small commissioned spray panted works, stencilling and papering.
Some of the best examples around Melbourne can be found in Hosier Lane which needs to be seen to be believed.
An example of stencilling
Papering
The famous Movida restaurant, where one has to book several months ahead to be able to get a table – so far I havent been successful, but I keep trying.
The art changes frequently - a Greek theme perhaps?
