For other possible meanings see Civilian (disambiguation)
Civilian is a street artist operating out of Melbourne, Australia, who has been profiled as a 'leading player' of "the city's vibrant stencil art scene".[1] Civilian started painting stencils around the end of 2001.[2]
He has had several art works exhibited in gallery shows, but says he’s not entirely comfortable in those settings; preferring to do work in “Empty Shows” - illegal exhibitions held in derelict buildings. In 2003 police caught Civilian at the Canterbury “Empty Show”. No criminal charges were laid by police.[3] Civilian feels that “street art is an important and necessary part of society”.
