GRAFFITI 1982 - 1991
January 1, 1982 - December 12, 1991
In the mid 80's Marcos & Colin became anonymously notorious for a series of street glyphs that would resonate and inspire for years afterwards.
"Colin Brealy and Marcos Davidson gained popularity throughout Melbourne with their strange illustrated characters. They were inspired by German expressionism, cave painting, the Maya Codices, and the inspirational light of the New York street and subway artist Keith Haring, who they teamed up with on his visit to Melbourne.
Their work was highly visible alng the train lines and on the yellow signage of the tram network, on almost every corner of the city centre.
The duo were Melbourne's first street artists to actually get up, and during the 80's their work could be seen everywhere across the city and into the inner suburbs".
