Kieran Hynes, Cork’s Graffiti Photographer 9 November 2009

From his initial exploits as part of the TNT crew to his more recent role as a street art photographer, Kieran Hynes has been a part of the Cork graffiti scene since the early 90′s.

Hynes told irishstreetart.com that back in the day ‘Cork had a big scene going on but without proper outlets and cop pressure the scene dried up with most crews at the time disbanding’.

However, Hynes kept up his interest, and in the past five years he has documented the Cork graffiti scene’s return to grace. Hynes has become familiar with most of Ireland‘s top writers and his work is driven by his own writer instinct and passion for finding ‘street art, be it tags,stencils or simply pieces off the beaten track’.

‘Alll respect to the artists for their work and ideas,for trying to brighten up this dull concrete jungle we all live in!’

Check out Kieran Hynes on flickr where there is over 4000 photo’s of local street art from Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and international work from Spain and Australia.
