Street Art in Melbourne CBD: Warburton Lane and Guilford Lane etc

  

I heard about beautiful French themed street art in Warburten Lane in the city.  When I had time I rode in and found it was indeed very impressive.  It was lovely to see some fun and thought-provoking street art in the this lane.  I had a quick look in a nearby lane and then went around to Guilford Lane to look at their street art, which had been wonderful on my last visit.

Warburton Lane:

"In 1788 Elizabeth Street was a river".  For those who don't know Melbourne, Elizabeth Street was drained of water and made into one of the main streets in the city.  When we get a lot of rain it floods and there have been some big floods there since the invasion of Australia.

Guilford Lane 


I love this illustration of an old factor and windows that merges into the brickwork of Guildford Lane.  I have posted a picture of this street art before but have shared it again because on my previous 2019 post of Guilford lane street art this illustration did not have the plants either side of it.  As well as enjoying looking at street art, I enjoy seeing how it changes over time.

Young girl crouches and looks with interest through her magnifying glass.  The illustration at the bottom of the wall just above a patch of greenery make her blend in well.

A colourful mosaic disc with text below: "Life is a boundless sea of sorrow, yet art is that lotus vessel in its own suchness."

Note: "what good shall I do this day?" beside an image of a cheeky kitchen hanging off the edge of a brick.

"Please do not lick the walls"
