Here is a set of Melbourne avenue artwork that I captured on my final go to to Melbourne. Many street artists engage in both forms of “writing” – the term street artists use to explain their production of graffiti or street artwork. Other cities rely on a extra eclectic mix of “sights and sounds” to lure more and more well-informed and various guests. For instance, Australia’s second-largest city, Melbourne, has at numerous instances promoted itself as the nation’s “sports and events capital”, the “arts and tradition capital” and, extra recently, because the “street art capital”.

Compared to other cities recognized for road art like Berlin and London, Melbourne’s aesthetic “came out of a very heavy stencil movement”, as properly as a sense of camaraderie and collaboration between artists. Taking photographs of road artwork is encouraged, because it helps to document and appreciate the work of gifted artists.

While residing in Melbourne I usually visit the street artwork on my ventures into this a half of the city so I often see the artwork on the laneways change. So include me on a walk through the laneways and you decide whether or not Melbourne’s laneway road artwork is artwork or graffiti.
