Large-Scale Public Art Murals in Victoria & NSW

Painted by hand, shaped by place, and trusted by councils and communities across Victoria and NSW

I'm Lukas Kasper, a Melbourne mural artist, and big public walls are where I do my largest work. For over 15 years I've painted park buildings, underpasses, shopfronts and community centres, working with councils' arts and culture and environment teams and with community groups. Every wall starts with the place: its wildlife, its history and the people who walk past it each day. I design and paint each mural myself, and where a project calls for it, the community picks up a brush too.

Parks, Reserves & Waterways

Wildlife murals that respond to the land they sit on

Animals and wildlife are the heart of my work. Before I became an artist I worked with animals, and that passion for wildlife and conservation follows me onto every wall. When a mural lives in a park, reserve or beside a waterway, I make it site-responsive. I research the area, spend time getting a feel for the space, and take on board any motifs the council or organisation would like to see before I pick up a brush. It's the perfect setting for my style, where animal realism meets bold, colour-driven, flowing line work, and a plain wall becomes a window onto the species and landscape that belong there.

Underpasses, Skateparks & Odd Shapes

Making everyday structures welcoming, inclusive and full of story

It's amazing what a coat of paint can do. Underpasses and bridges can feel intimidating and often attract tagging, and a well-considered mural helps turn them into inviting, inclusive spaces for the whole community, while telling a story about the environment around them. Skateparks are close to my heart. I come from a skateboarding background, so I know how to paint them to lift the space without getting in the way of the people riding it. The flow of my line work suits the shapes and movement of a skatepark, and it sits naturally in the space.

Main Street, Shopfront & Laneway Murals

Focal points that give local streets their own character

No two street briefs are alike. Main street walls, shopfronts and laneways come in every shape, size and brief, and I enjoy that variety. Whether it's a narrow laneway, a corner shopfront or a long blank wall, I bring my own visual style to the place and its people, to create a piece that becomes a focal point for the local community and lifts the look of the whole streetscape.

Shopping Centre, Community Buildings & Public Amenity Murals

Murals that belong to the place and the people who use it

A successful mural does several things at once: it fits its space, tells a story, and brings life and vibrance to a place. Shopping centres, community buildings and amenities such as park facilities and toilet blocks are used by many people every day, so they carry a strong connection to the community. I approach these walls with a lot of care and an eye for a pleasing result, so the mural feels like it belongs to the building and the people who use it.

15+ years experience · Fully insured · Working with Children Check

I came to murals through street art, graffiti and skateboarding culture in 2009, and I still paint with that same energy. My work centres on animals, the environment and mental health, using bold flowing line work and native flora and fauna to tell local stories. I trained in graphic design, which helps me read a space and a brief.

How I work on public art projects

Each project is different, but they all follow the same rhythm.

1. Brief and place: I read your brief or EOI closely and visit the site, so the concept starts from where the wall actually is.

2. Listening: I plan community and stakeholder input, from a short consultation to full workshops, depending on the project.

3. Design and sign-off: you see the concept before anything is painted, and it's refined until it's right for the place.

4. Painting: I plan access, safety and approvals first. Where the project calls for it, local people paint alongside me.

5. Handover: a finished mural, and a care and maintenance note if you'd like one.

Public art mural questions

Do you respond to council EOIs and briefs?

Yes. I respond to EOIs and briefs, usually with a concept, my working method and examples of similar projects.

Can the community help paint?

Yes, when the project calls for it, from a drop-in painting session to a longer program. See my community murals page.

What kinds of places do you paint?

Park buildings, toilet blocks, underpasses, bridges, skateparks, community centres, shopfronts, laneways, buoys and seating. If it's a surface in a public space, ask.

Have a wall in mind?

Tell me about the place, who uses it and what you'd like it to say. I'm happy to talk it through, whether it's a brief you've already written or just an idea.
