INTRODUCTION

I can image children being in awe of these images as they walk along the path leading into the play ground. There is a lovely connection being the human like creature and the animal which I like – Photographed by Karen Robinson.JPG
ABOUT STREET ART PHOTO STORY No. 8 – KAFF-EINE
Just recently, I discovered a number of amazing street art works within the suburb of Fitzroy, Melbourne – Australia. Fitzroy features many well-known, talented street artists and KAFF-EINE is another very good example of street art that can be found in this suburb. The inclusion of so many street art works within this historical area, adds further interest and distinctive additional character. It gives local residents and visitors alike, the benefit of being able to view art work, both large and small, in these wonderful free ‘open galleries’ for all people, any time of the day or night. Perhaps…it’s art therapy for the whole community?!…
KAFF-EINE’S STORY
“Kaff-eine is an established street + contemporary artist within Melbourne’s globally-celebrated street art scene. Since 2010 she has garnered a strong following among Australian and international street art lovers + art collectors, who are drawn to her illustrative freehand style, delicate linework, + quiet melancholic characters. She has been invited to paint her artwork, created with aerosol, acrylic paint + pigment ink, on public + private walls across Australia, Germany, France + the Philippines, in galleries, businesses, homes, and on the streets. Kaff-eine has also illustrated two successful children’s books (The Promise + Vera), + has exhibited in solo + group exhibitions throughout Australia” (Kaff-eine. 2015).

MY COMMENTS
This particular street art work of KAFF-EINE is a delightful display of magical creatures. They line the entrance to Smith Reserve, a children’s playground area and park for the local Fitzroy community. Behind the wall of these creatives is a line of Australian Native Gum trees which helps to ‘green’ this inner city suburb, also helping to make this area a wonderful retreat away from the hustle and busy city living. My favourite is the Kangaroo like creative, asleep under the Australian Native Gum trees. It is not hard to imagine that children would find these images engaging as they lead them towards the entrance of their playground. KAFF-EINE‘s street art situated along these walls, has very successfully turned this area into a place of purpose and adventure. Her wall of mystical creatures act as a wonderful invitation to locals to come and enjoy ‘Smith Reserve’, come and take some time out and play…
