Adelaide Has a Different Kind of Canvas

Street Art, Custom Murals & Creative Projects Across Adelaide

Adelaide knows how to mix things up.

One minute you’re in the city surrounded by restaurants, bars, businesses and contemporary architecture. Head west and you’re watching the sun disappear over Glenelg Beach. Travel in the other direction and the city quickly gives way to the Adelaide Hills, cellar doors, vineyards and some of Australia’s best-known wine regions.

Then, every summer, bikes take over.

The Santos Tour Down Under brings elite international cycling and thousands of spectators onto Adelaide’s streets and through the surrounding regions, adding another burst of colour, movement and energy to a city already known for festivals, food, wine and creativity.

For professional artist Daniel Krause — aka Drule Art — that’s plenty of inspiration to work with.

Street Art Concepts creates original murals, graffiti-inspired artwork and custom creative projects for businesses and private clients across Australia, including Adelaide and regional South Australia.

Got a wall? Let’s do something with it.

 

Adelaide Street Art With a Sense of Place

City. Coast. Hills. Everything In Between.

One of the best things about commissioning original artwork is that the location can become part of the creative process without the finished mural turning into a tourism poster.

Adelaide provides plenty to draw from.

The colours of the coast. Native landscapes. Wine country. Architecture. Food culture. Sport. Music. Local history. Or the personality of the neighbourhood itself.

A mural can reference those elements subtly or ignore them altogether and head in a completely different direction.

That’s the point of custom art.

It starts with the space, not a template.

Tour Down Under: When Adelaide Gets Moving

Bikes, Colour & a City Full of Energy

Few events demonstrate Adelaide’s connection between city and landscape better than the Tour Down Under.

The race takes professional cycling from Adelaide’s urban environment into the surrounding hills and communities, attracting visitors and cycling fans from around Australia and overseas.

For hospitality venues, breweries, cafés, retailers and tourism businesses, major events like this also show how valuable memorable physical spaces can be.

People are exploring.

They’re eating out.

They’re meeting friends.

They’re taking photos.

Original mural artwork can give them something else to discover along the way.

For businesses located around busy visitor precincts, a great wall can become more than decoration.

It can become part of the destination.

From Glenelg Beach to the City

Artwork Made for Adelaide’s Social Side.

There’s something about coastal locations that invites colour.

Glenelg and Adelaide’s surrounding beachside suburbs offer brilliant opportunities for murals across hospitality venues, retail spaces, accommodation, entertainment areas and private homes.

Artwork might draw on ocean colours, Australian wildlife and coastal landscapes — or take the complete opposite approach with bold contemporary graphics, portraits or graffiti influences.

Restaurants, cafés and bars can use murals to help create an atmosphere that extends beyond furniture and signage.

Retailers can create something instantly recognisable.

And an outdoor wall that’s currently doing absolutely nothing?

That’s just wasted canvas.

Into the Adelaide Hills

Where Landscape Meets Creativity.

Leave the city behind and Adelaide changes quickly.

The Adelaide Hills bring a completely different environment — historic towns, rolling landscapes, cellar doors, restaurants, accommodation and tourism businesses surrounded by nature.

These spaces don’t necessarily call for traditional graffiti.

Street-art techniques can be used to create sophisticated contemporary murals incorporating botanical elements, wildlife, landscapes, abstract forms, typography or completely original illustrative work.

Street art doesn’t have to look urban.

In the right hands, the techniques can go almost anywhere.

Murals for Adelaide's Wine Regions

Art Worth Raising a Glass To.

South Australia and wine are difficult to separate.

From the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale to the Adelaide Hills, some of Australia’s most recognised wineries sit within easy reach of Adelaide.

Wineries, cellar doors, restaurants and accommodation venues provide fantastic opportunities for commissioned artwork.

A mural could respond to the vineyard, landscape and history of a property, create a contemporary contrast against a traditional building or simply give visitors an unexpected visual moment.

There’s also enormous potential for artwork across wine sheds, exterior walls, tasting areas, event spaces and hospitality environments.

Because good wine already has a story.

Great artwork gives you another way to tell it.

Adelaide Mural Artists for Commercial Spaces

A mural shouldn’t just fill an empty wall.

For a business, it can help communicate personality before anybody reads a word about the company.

Street Art Concepts creates custom artwork for:

  • Restaurants, cafés and bars
  • Breweries and wineries
  • Retail spaces
  • Hotels and accommodation
  • Offices and workplaces
  • Tourism businesses
  • Commercial buildings
  • Entertainment venues
  • Developments
  • Events and activations

Dan brings more than 20 years of professional art experience to the creative process, with a background influenced by graffiti, hip hop, street culture, illustration and contemporary mural art.

The result doesn’t have to look like traditional graffiti unless that’s exactly what you want.

We create for the project.

Looking for Graffiti Artists in Adelaide?

Find the Style Before You Choose the Artist.

Searching for an Adelaide graffiti artist can mean very different things depending on the project.

You might want traditional graffiti lettering and characters.

You could be looking for a huge contemporary mural.

Maybe you need something polished enough for a corporate environment but still want the authenticity and energy of artist-created work.

Street Art Concepts operates as both an artist-led mural business and street art consultancy.

Sometimes Dan (Drule Art) is exactly the right artist.

For projects requiring another style, Street Art Concepts can also draw on a wider network of artists and creative collaborators.

The objective is simple:

Get the right artist onto the right wall.

Custom Murals for Adelaide Homes

Commercial buildings aren’t the only places with walls worth painting.

Street Art Concepts creates residential murals for interiors, kids’ bedrooms, garden walls, patios, entertaining areas, sheds, garages and other private spaces.

For Adelaide’s outdoor lifestyle, exterior artwork can be particularly effective.

A large garden or entertaining-area wall can become part of the landscaping rather than something you’re constantly trying to hide.

Inside, an original mural can turn an ordinary room into something completely personal.

No mass-produced prints.

No chance of seeing the same thing at somebody else’s house.

Brisbane Based. Creating Across Australia.

Dan Krause has spent more than two decades working professionally as an artist, and Street Art Concepts takes on projects well beyond its Brisbane base.

For Adelaide projects, the creative planning can begin remotely.

Send through photographs, measurements, your location and whatever ideas you already have. From there we can discuss the creative direction, logistics and what’s required to bring the project to life.

For larger commercial murals, winery projects, hospitality spaces and unique private commissions, interstate doesn’t mean out of reach.
