Fitzroy,
established in 1839, is
Melbourne's oldest
suburb and a historically
significant area known for
its vibrant cultural and
artistic identity. The
murals in Fitzroy are a
testament to its rich
cultural tapestry,
artistic freedom, and the
area's role as a hub
for creativity.
The
murals are known for their
bold use of color,
intricate patterns, and
dynamic compositions. They
bring life to the urban
environment, transforming
drab walls into visual
spectacles. The street art
scene is dynamic and
ever-evolving. Murals
frequently change, with
new works continually
replacing old ones,
reflecting the transient
and ever-changing nature
of urban art.
The
distinction between murals
and graffiti is often
blurred, reflecting the
area's dynamic and
inclusive approach to
street art. Both murals
and graffiti contribute
significantly to the
suburb’s vibrant
visual landscape, yet they
differ in purpose,
legality, style, and
perception. Below is an
exploration of how these
two forms of street art
coexist and overlap in
Fitzroy.
