Vango – Killarney 5 March 2009

Kilarney isn’t the first spot in Ireland that springs to mind when you think of street art but recently the Kingdom’s tourist trap has been making the national headlines as the canvas for one of Ireland’s up and coming street artists. Vango told Irishstreetart.com that he first became interested in graffiti when he read an article about Banksy and discovered the stencil method. Since then he’s been obsessed with street art. The artist said “I wanted to see some of it around my town so I decided to start. I first started four months ago with the rats like Banksy and Blek Le rat and then moved onto my own bigger pieces.” Vango has of late including a sculptural element to his work and a hopes to develop a 3d graffiti portfolio.
