Hosier Lane Street Art

If there ever was an example of how graffiti can truly be classified as an artform, Melbourne's Hosier Lane is it. Located at the southern end of central Melbourne just across from Federation Square, this ever-changing laneway is the embodiment of sophisticated urban art presented in a refreshing way that differs from the standard, stale museum environment. The street art on Hosier Lane features layer upon layer of expression that is often political in nature, yet always stimulating, with vibrant colours that makes for a wonderful backdrop while posing for photos. In all, it's a display of innovative talent that turns what might otherwise be an uninspiring back city alleyway into one of Melbourne's best examples of purposeful graffiti done with flair.
