Hosiers Lane

Description

Limited Edition Reproduction of 25 Only

Capturing in oils the colours of the vibrant and iconic graffiti in Hosier’s Lane, Melbourne.

I have wanted to capture the modern architecture of the city skyscrapers set against the older buildings of Hosier’s Lane. I chose to use the primary colours of red, blue, yellow and green to accentuate the colours of the graffiti, signs and people of Hosier’s Lane. I used the yellow van as the main focal point with the lines of the architecture merging into this point. The white light on the buildings and the foreground of the lane aim to contrast and magnify the colours of the graffiti.

I also depicted people in the lane way merging them into the colours of the artwork. The light on the pathway also highlights the colours of refracted light from the buildings. This is a painting which captures a moment in Hosiers Lane and the unique and bright colours associated with this iconic Melbourne lane.
