Troy Emery: Guardian Lion

Troy Emery: Guardian Lion

Melbourne's newest large-scale illuminated public artwork by Troy Emery is Guardian Lion located on Melbourne Square.

Inspired by Melbourne's dynamic arts culture, alongside Victoria's 'Grampians big cat' folklore, the artwork refers to a mythical big cat that roamed the Grampian Mountain ranges with sightings dating back over a century.

Measuring 15.4m (h) x 18.7m (w) x 0.3m (d), Guardian Lion's laser-cut aluminium structure is adorned with LED flex lighting to be lit-up at night, creating a dazzling spectrum of colour from afar.

Its location on the southern podium wall of Melbourne Square residential towers will ensure it is an unmissable sight for those entering Melbourne via the Westgate Freeway or passing through Southbank and South Melbourne.

Officially opened on Friday 7th March 2025 @ 109 Kavanagh Street, Southbank
