Street Art Triptych

Not only do we have street art on buildings in Newcastle, we also have artworks painted on the electricity junction boxes, telephone pillars and traffic signal boxes

The electricity boxes all have a mouse featured in the artworks

The telephone pillars are locally known as 'pillar people' and I have posted a few of them in the past and the traffic light junction boxes tend to have an underwater or animal theme.

They are all the work of artist Rebecca Murray. Originally from Sydney, Rebecca moved to Newcastle about 8 years ago where she owns a café and gallery at Teralba called the Flying Spanners Gallery.

I hope you have enjoyed this series of street art in Newcastle.

The electrical boxes in the community that I live in have all been painted by a local artist too. Such a great way to add pops of colour around the communities :)

I remember the telephone pillar in the middle picture. Your city must look so pretty with all the street art you have.

[Wylie]

more beauties, you've found large numbers of these, a credit to the area!

So different than just seeing an either grey or green painted box or pillar.

@danette @amy_sweet_september You will have to take a photo of the street art in your area and post it on 365, wou8ld be interesting for all to see.

[bruni]

I like the pillar people best and just looked at the other six. they're artistic and colorful too.

[Islandgirl]

[Leana Niemand]

Wow, that is so cool!

[Kathy A]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I remember the other pillar people. I love the mouse! These things are so fun and colorful they make the necessity of these boxes worthwhile.
