Originals, the exhibition shows the work of two Irish artists, Morgan & Eimear-Jean McCormack and is produced and curated by Natalie Winterlich & Shane O’ Donoghue. The art exhibition will take place at The Twisted Pepper, 54 Middle Abbey St., Dublin 2 from the 30th January (opening party at 9pm) to the 28th February. Originals is a chance to see some super graphic art to kill off those January blues!

Morgan is one of Irelands most innovative artists, based in Dublin. His distinctive form of art is inspired by his everyday environment and the people he meets along the way, as well as being influenced by the escapism of film, his work is primarily in acrylic on canvas, although he also creates digital prints mixing traditional photography techniques with illustrations as well as mixed media works combining digital prints on canvas. Morgan has recently had a selection of his work touring the US. Expect a clean graffiti influenced style with stories running through the pieces.

Eimear-Jean McCormack is from Cork and is a printmaker. She manages to create urban and atmospheric scenes using lines and colour very sparingly, the end result being quite simple throughout. She holds an MA in Fine Art Printmaking from The University of The Arts, London. She has exhibited widely in Ireland as well as New York, London, France and China.

Twelve Doors by Maser & Damien Dempsey 25 January 2010

The final Twelve Doors instalation of 2009 ‘Love Yourself Today’ came from Dubliners, Maser and Damien Dempsey and is described as ‘for the people of Dublin, about Dublin, in Dublin.’

‘The majority of street art only addresses the ‘headline issues’, depicting the negative aspects about our society and governments. I want to address some of these issues but communicate them in a positive manner.’ This piece is the 2nd of 24 that will be painted in Dublin over the next few months. All pieces will be on-line in the New Year on Damien Dempsey’s site. The visual inspiration for this project comes from the old hand painted sign writing in Dublin City, the sort you can still see on sides of pubs, chemists, hardware stores etc.

Maser and Bodytonic present 9 December 2009

Maser and Bodytonic are proud to present the work of Dundalk-based graffiti artists Kube and Omin. Painting commercially and as a passionate hobby, Kube and Omin have been painting the countries walls for the past 13 years, bringing graffiti art to their hometown and nationwide, as well as being established on the international scene.

Using a wide range of media, including spray painted canvas, acrylic and oil paintings and photographic pieces to fully showcase the vibrancy, movement and technical skill that comes with this very new and rapidly moving art form.

Kube
and Omin have painted for a vast array of major companies, brands, festivals and arts organisations. Working commercially doing commissions and brand promotion the pair have been submitting their artwork to internationally circulated magazines for the past 10 years, gaining them work overseas aswell as representing the Irish Graffiti art scene on an worldwide platform.

Graffiti art by its very nature is something that the public see and admire but yet mystery surrounds the rhyme and reason to why and how it is done. Since its beginings in the 70’s, Graffiti art has been a voice for young artists to display their talents on a public stage without reward, whilst risking prosecution in some cases to express themselves.

Using such a wide range of mediums – Kube and Omin hope to visually demonstrate the essence of Graffiti art through their own styles and skills. From sketches used on past murals, to photographs of walls, to graffiti art on canvas – all facets of the artform will be displayed and will give a visual narrative to their 13 years of non-stop graffiti art exploits.

This is the first show of its kind to be held in Twisted Pepper and promises to be one of most animated and interesting uses of the space to date. Kube and Omin will be displaying original pieces for this show in addition to painting some of the gallery walls and creating a more unique atmosphere to the space.

This show promises to be fresh on every surface.

‘Ways to Kill a Werewolf’ is the official music video for the song by Pearse McGloughlin, painted by Irish street artist Kevin McGloughlin in Barcelona last summer. Kevin told IrishStreetArt.com that this piece of work was actually a winner at the IMTV awards for best Irish music video, in the solo male category. We think this this video is an excellent interpretation of the songs lyrics and well definitely worth a goo!
