Silence the Artist
‘Silence’ is a self-taught aerosol artist with experience
spanning 30 years. Raised in the suburbs of Frankston, Silence has experienced
and been part of the evolution of Melbourne graffiti and street art culture for
most of his life.
Silence is known for his clean, sharp, strong lines, his
attention to detail and determination for perfection. His work is abstract, contemporary, reflective and draws on nostalgia from the 80’s and 90’s. Silence
enjoys experimenting with a dynamic combination of recycled materials such as
pipes, rust and 3D objects to add texture, depth, and emphasis. Drips, splats and layering are another hallmark of his work and his eclectic use of recycled and upcycled materials.
Silence has collaborated with local, interstate and international artists
producing countless art works for non-profit organisations, community groups, businesses, schools, private collectors and his own personal projects.
The streets and laneways are a street artist's gallery!
I am passionate about transforming ugly and unutilised spaces into contemporary artworks! I am also excited to experiment and create original art pieces that captures the feel of the street for you to enjoy.
Transforming ugly to contemporary!

“Silence Melbourne has produced
several fantastic pieces of work for Concern Australia including a mural that
brilliantly captures our values on a feature wall in one of our meeting
rooms. This artwork brings to life our work and includes coffee tables produced
in partnership with young people. My favourite is the imagery that
encapsulates the hope we have for young people across Melbourne.”

Silence has “spent time with some of our young people teaching them
Graffiti Art and helping them to produce amazing canvases, some of which are on
display in our Dandenong office. His own artistic designs can also be seen at
the office on walls and doors and in some of our lead tenant houses, making
these spaces much more interesting and inviting for young people.”Anne Mitchell
