Ennis Street Festival: Conor Harrrington

dasium

Been a fan of this guys work for ages... couldn't believe he's doing a couple of pieces around Ennis... major kudos to the organisers in nabbing him. Street Art has come along way from graffiti tagging, and Conor is one of the internationally renowned street artists pushing the boat out in what was up until recently the domain of delinquents! If around ennis this weekend try to catch at work... his pieces in Galleries go for 10's of thousands of pounds sterling... he's currently attached to the same gallery as Banksy in London...

here is he's blog where he goes into the meaning of this current series of installations that started last weekend in Dublin

Its beside the Rowen Tree Hostel...if walking, from Abbey St carpark, go over the pedestrian Bridge and around the back of the hostel, its visable while driving if leaving town and heading towards the Lahinch Rd.... its on the end terraced house adjacant to the hostel... He'll be doing another piece at Glor, starting today... with a public demonstration of skills on Saturday

Went to have a look at these at the weekend and they're fantastic. This guys work is beginning to get quite popular so it's great to have a couple of big pieces in Ennis.
