I walk the same route to the train station each Monday to Friday morning, and sometimes on weekends. Enroute there’s a typical inner-west house on the corner of Bray & Concord Streets which has a nice garden, a white cat, a yellow canary and residents who appear correspondingly typical. This is their fence, as it was when I first walked past in August 2011, and now. Courtesy of the weather, seasons and street artists, every day is a new day.

I take it they don’t mind being an open canvas? It would drive me up the wall!!

It appears not – the house opposite has regularly applied (each time the wall is tagged) immaculate duck egg blue paintwork. Maybe the residnts have a connection with the artist…

I’m quite surprised at the quality of the street art, but as RS has said, I did wonder if the property owners get a say in it?

The local street art as opposed to graffiti & tagging is fantastic… I’m guessing the residents approve and/or have a relationship of some kind with the artists.

They look so brilliant, I think people are really starting to like good graffiti, not the tags, but the other stuff, it is no nice and colourful, like a painting everywhere.

I agree, since I’ve lived in the Inner-West street art become accepted and even applauded particularly in Newtown & St Peters but in other parts it’s quickly painted over. I just love it 🙂

Thank you. The difference in the environments and attitudes to street art between neighbouring suburbs is tangible… There are odd bits of true social commentary/cultural street art around Redfern, Waterloo etc, almost none in Darlington despite neighbouring the university campuses. Newtown and St Peters are wonderful galleries 🙂 It was a saving grace when we had to move.
