Lushux's portrait at AC/DC Lane Melbourne for Mural Monday

 

This mural, located in AC/DC Lane in Melbourne’s central business district, reflects the increasing popularity of portraiture within contemporary street art. The work bears the signature of Lushsux, a prominent Melbourne-based graffiti and mural artist celebrated for his large-scale, often pop culture–inspired creations.

Emerging from Melbourne’s vibrant street art scene in the early 2010s, Lushsux quickly gained international recognition for his provocative and often satirical works, which blend popular imagery with political and social commentary. His murals are characterised by bold composition, meticulous attention to facial detail, and a striking use of colour that amplifies emotional impact. Working primarily with aerosol paints, he employs layering techniques to achieve depth and tonal variation, while his choice of subject matter often reflects current cultural phenomena, internet memes, and global media narratives.

By integrating humour, controversy, and technical precision, Lushsux has established himself as one of Australia’s most recognisable urban artists, leaving an indelible mark on Melbourne’s laneways and beyond

This mural is sitting in AC/DC lane for a long time. It is also fading.

Joel and I visited Pinnacles last night. After the usual routine getting the sunset shots and long exposure in some dangerous locations, we noticed so many wallabies staring at us on the grass fields. They were like scouts evenly spaced out into the horizon. It was so eerie. We also spotted a fox popping its head out of the wattle tree bush then roamed through the grass fields like a giant earthworm. Joel enjoyed it but I was rather freaked out.

Chipmunk Mural for Mural Monday

 

In the last few weeks, I have been making efforts to take train to CBD doing my photowalk round and street candids. Some murals have been replaced by new ones in AC DC lane. 

It was fun to snap murals like social landscape photography. Hoiser Lane is unrecognisable with so much tagging. It is definitely violence to arts.

An old mural at AC/DC lane of Melbourne

 

I often felt like a fish trying to avoid the unavoidable!

Let it be authority, line manager or just the cruelty of life

I was watching a movie about a professor whose interest is into sleep paralysis and dreams. Then I thought my hobby in photography can be classified as art research! I just need donors to fund my equipment and inner artistic being!
