Conor Harrington (b. 1980) is an Irish-born, London-based artist renowned for his captivating fusion of classical oil painting and contemporary street art. His distinctive work, which graces both global city walls as large-scale murals and international gallery spaces like the Saatchi Gallery, masterfully blends the refined techniques of academic art with the raw energy and graphic sensibilities of graffiti. Harrington began his career as a teenage graffiti artist in Cork before attending Limerick School of Art and Design, where he studied art history and honed his technical skills, eventually bridging these two seemingly disparate worlds in his unique visual language.

His large-scale figurative works often feature realistic, dynamic images of people, frequently depicted in 18th-century colonial or military attire, juxtaposed with abstract elements, bold lines, and bursts of color. This striking contrast creates a powerful social commentary, allowing him to explore complex themes such as masculinity, identity, power, and the cyclical nature of history. Harrington uses the visual rhetoric of historical portraiture to interrogate modern issues, presenting figures of authority and challenging the permanence of dominance.

Harrington's process involves a meticulous blend of traditional and modern materials, from oils and acrylics to spray paint. The artist, who once outsold Banksy at auction, continually pushes the boundaries of his medium, creating works that are both aesthetically beautiful and intellectually provocative. He remains a significant figure in the contemporary art world, known for his ability to seamlessly integrate the historical with the hypermodern, defying easy categorization and challenging viewers to reflect on the complexities of contemporary existence.

Fuchsia Macaree is an Irish illustrator whose bright, pared-back scenes celebrate the quiet poetry of everyday life. Born in Dublin and now based in County Clare, she trained in Visual Communication at the National College of Art & Design before completing an MA in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts, London. This grounding in design taught her to distil complex ideas into clear visual language, a skill that underpins her instantly recognisable style: solid blocks of warm colour, simplified perspectives and bold, looping outlines that guide the eye straight to the heart of the story.

Her imagery springs from people watching and coastal walks. Sketchbooks fill with fleeting moments two friends sharing crisps and pints at 8:40 pm, swimmers greeting a high tide, cyclists paused under streetlights which she then translates into prints, murals, editorial illustrations and even way-finding maps. Crucial details remain (a packet of Tayto, the curve of a Galway bay), yet backgrounds are stripped to flat planes of coral, teal and butter yellow, allowing recognisable warmth to shine through.

Macaree’s client list spans cultural institutions and global brands. She has created campaigns for Google’s Dublin data centre, rebranded Center Parcs with nature-rich graphics, designed mental health imagery for the text service 50808 and drawn tidal calendars that encourage wild swimming along the Wild Atlantic Way. Her bestselling Great Irish Weather Book (Gill Books, 2018) cements her gift for turning meteorological data into engaging visual narrative.

Recent exhibitions at Hang Tough Contemporary and Plámás Gallery showcase large scale prints and painted panels that continue to elevate ordinary Irish life into joyful, luminous art, proving that simplicity, when rooted in sincere observation, can carry the weight of shared memory and collective delight.

______________________

Canvaz is the working name of an Irish street artist who began painting on the walls of Dublin in the late 1990s. Using a mix of stencils, spray paint and urban intervention, he combines figurative imagery with bold graphic shapes, producing works that range from metre high paste ups to large building facades. His early pieces appeared around Temple Bar and the Liberties, often featuring a mischievous panda or a wide-eyed bear that became informal mascots for the city’s growing graffiti scene.

Over the past two decades he has extended his practice to canvas, sculpture and limited-edition screen prints that sell through independent Irish galleries and online platforms. Recurring motifs include native wildlife, childhood toys and political slogans, all rendered in layered colour that nods to both pop art and traditional sign painting. Recent outdoor projects have taken him to Barcelona, Paris and Berlin, where he has painted collaborative murals under his “Big Bad Me” banner, inviting local artists to add their own marks to his outlined characters.

Canvaz maintains a low public profile, preferring to let the work speak from walls, alleyways and abandoned warehouses. By keeping production small and messages playful, he continues to champion the idea that street art can be both a civic gift and a personal diary, proving that a single image pasted in the right spot can still brighten a passer-by’s day.
