Local Graffiti Art

Right beside Morningside train station is some of the best graffiti art in the area. More than just tagging, these images link and overlap in interesting and creative ways, livening up otherwise boring and ugly cement walls.
One wall is a mixture of images, including an evil octopus, house on the run and demonic kitty-​person, while around the corner is a portrait style masterpiece of a woman with traditional pacific designs weaved around her.
This graffiti artwork reflects the multiculturalism of Auckland and also the talent of our young graffiti artists. It may not be worthy of the Art Gallery, but I love seeing local talent and creativity displayed on the streets and in some ways by being right by a train station, these walls are the best gallery of all. Hundreds of people see this artwork every day. Don’t be the one to miss out, next time you’re in Morningside check them out.
