Painter and designer Taj Alexander has been influencing the Melbourne street art scene for more than a decade. His work continues to explore aesthetic and interpersonal relationships through compositional conversations in form and texture. It can be found in both galleries and street contexts around the world.

The Metro Tunnel Creative Program commissioned Taj to complete a large-scale painted work on its Federation Square hoardings facing the East Shard. The colourful work reflects the Federation Square brand and brightens a walkway used by thousands of commuters and city visitors every day.
