A voice in the darkness





Chalk drawings are living things. 
They are constantly changing, shifting, thrilling, exciting, enabling, disappearing. 
Illuminated by the beaming light of a Tuesday night opening at the Damien Minton Gallery, 
the scribbling of a street artist attracted as much attention as the art on the walls inside.

Chalk drawings bring joy and life to our streets. They are not locked away. 

They are made to delight us or just give the maker a voice. They rock !

If you go to Damien Minton Gallery on Great Buckingham Street in Redfern, 

you will always find a grand selection of chalk drawings surrounding the gallery itself. 
The art just grows out of that place. 61-63 Great Buckingham Street, Redfern, Australia.
