Newtown Area Graffiti And Street Art
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 displayed works of 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 murals, hand-painted political slogans, hand-painted figurative designs, spray painted semi-abstract designs, and stylistic developments such as stencil art and street poster art (also known as "wheatpasting").
