Dublin Street Art

During my visit to Dublin last autumn, I snapped a few photographs of street art that I came across when I was exploring the city. Most of the street art was located in the Temple Bar area of Dublin, but some of it was further afield, in the vicinity of the Guinness Storeroom factory area. I was actually a little disappointed because I thought that Dublin would have more street art. Some older pieces, which I discovered online before I went to visit Dublin, had been covered up and tagged over, which was a disappointment. Nevertheless, I did manage to take quite a few photographs, including the below mural by artist Conor Harrington. (Read more about his work and see some photographs of his work in London here: Street Art: Conor Harrington.)

The below quirky fantasy scene is a collaboration from several artists: Fri2, Dahleo, Novice, and KYLR.

I also snapped a photograph of some large African-style masks that I saw in Dublin. These were located to the west of the main part of the centre of Dublin.

A couple colourful pieces below as from Marcamix.

I am not sure who painted the goth-style female characters, but I like the style. I saw a couple of these in Dublin.

I also found somevarious pieces, such as a spray can and part of a soup can from Canvaz, lips from Solus, stencil work by Zlashing, and Dublin Wifi mosaics. The Wifi mosaics reminded me of Space Invader's work.

There was also a large mural in progress on a side of a building in the Temple Bar area.

Additionally, check out the following unknown pieces. I like the workman on the side of the building. I'm not sure who the artists are for any of these, and getting photographs of some of them was difficult with vehicles in the way.

The below photographs were taken of the same building with various pieces of artwork on them.

Dublin's signal boxes also contained some artwork. Below are the ones I was able to locate to photograph. They are looking a little worn now.

I also discovered some artwork hanging on scaffolding on Upper O'Connell Street. I am not sure what it was all about, but there was a sign up describing it. I was waiting for the bus back to the airport right next to it, so I did not get time to look.

I hope that you have enjoyed my tour of Dublin's street art.
