Since the 1980s, the area surrounding the inner-Sydney suburb of Newtown, New South Wales (NSW), Australia—including the suburbs of Newtown, Enmore, Erskineville, Camperdown and St Peters—has been known for its wide range of prominent graffiti and street art on walls. The public visual art in the Newtown area consists of a variety of styles and methods of execution, including large-scale painted murals, hand-painted (or sprayed) political slogans, hand-painted figurative designs, spray painted semi-abstract designs (including large-scale and elaborate semi-pictorial) "tags"), and other stylistic developments such as stencil art and street poster art (also known as "wheatpasting"), "Yarn bombing", and sculptural items cast from plaster and other materials. == Locations == Street art locations in the greater Newtown area include: *Murals facing onto King St and adjoining streets. *Stencil art around the photographic studio in Gladstone Street, near Newtown Railway Station. *Stencils, slogans and murals in and around the pedestrian tunnel under the railway line, linking Bella St and Bedford St. *Graffiti works in the area between Enmore Rd and the railway line, including Gladstone St, the Wilford St industrial area, Wilford Lane, Phillip Lane and Thurnby Lane. *Murals, stencils and graffiti slogans in and around Camperdown Memorial Rest Park. *Wall art in the vicinity of St Peters Station and Applebee St, near Sydney Park. *The multi-panel spraypaint mural on the rear wall of St Luke's Church, Enmore by Matthew Peet (aka "Mistery"). Another example is two slogans painted on the wall of a house on Salisbury Rd in Camperdown, at the Kingston Rd intersection. A large hand-painted slogan that displayed, "Madonna: The Devil Incarnate", was accompanied by a smaller slogan that read, "iConsume". Both slogans lasted approximately two weeks before being painted over. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newtown area graffiti and street art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
