    LOCAL GRAFFITI BATTLE

    Date:

    Five years ago, local artist Amuse One started a graffiti style battle in the back streets of Yarraville.

    Graffiti ‘pieces’ that contained intricate lettering styles were being splashed onto legally acquired walls by two competing artists across Melbourne, all within a 2 hour time limit. The word being painted was drawn from a hat, so the artist was completely out of their comfort zone. Voting for the winner was done online by the 4,000+ Instagram followers. When lockdowns hit, the battles moved to London, Mongolia and across the USA with artists jumping at the chance to prove their style ruled them all.

    Avery Clark is a graffiti artist who works in Melbourne’s west. Originally born in the US, he moved to Japan, then to Sydney before setting up camp in Yarraville, Seddon and finally in Williamstown.

    If you would like to contact Avery about a mural for your home or business email avery_clark@hotmail.com

    Avery will be exhibiting some of his art at the Community Bank Seddon until Friday 14th July 2023.

    It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen.
