Conor Harrington

Harrington is known for both his street work and also more recently his gallery work. He has taken in the notion that with his outdoors work, the bigger the piece or mural, the bigger the impact and better influence on the viewer looking at it. He considers himself as neither a street artist or gallery artist and more of just a painter. Harrington's work is a mixture of classical and contemporary art, blending the two together into a new and inventive way of art. Conor Harrington was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1980. He started his career in his teenage years tagging and doing graffiti anywhere he could in the streets of Ireland. Most of these nights were called hip-hop nights, where he would hang out with the DJs and MCs from around the country at clubs in 1990s Ireland. His work is highly collectable with continuing exhibitions around the world.
