Street Art: Australia

by Lou Chamberlin (Photographer)

As you walk down the street in cities and towns across Australia from Perth to Benalla, Toowoomba to Melbourne, you might stumble across a seven-storey-high painting of a woman's face on a building; a giant echnida painted onto a wall; a tiny paste-up on the back of a telegraph pole. This glimpse of art on an otherwise dull street both transports and intrigues who was the artist? What is the story behind the painting? Street art photographer Lou Chamberlin is following on from the success of her book Street Melbourne with Street Australia, a celebration of street art across the country, featuring the art, artists and collaborations who have shaped the street art scene in Australia over the past 10 years. You might find some recognisable artists and faces in the book, as Lou takes us, lens by lens, on an epic journey across the most exciting art in the country.

"Street Art: Australia" by Lou Chamberlin (Photographer)
It is surprisingly difficult to find books that are an album of photographed murals and tagging.
This was interesting

An informative book for using the walls to express own painting skills.
