Áras Inis Gluaire, The Erris Arts Centre in Belmullet is thrilled to announce the launch of Urban Fingerprint, an exhibition by artist David Fox, opening on Saturday 19th October 4.30pm. This captivating exhibition delves into the relationship between urban spaces and personal identity, showcasing Fox’s innovative approach to contemporary art.
David Fox has become renowned for his compelling connection with the contemporary Irish landscape, where in recent work he captures the vibrant essence of graffiti within the bustling cities of Ireland. Working primarily with oil paints, Fox brings these walls and alleys to life on canvas, transforming the often-overlooked art of graffiti into evocative pieces that resonate with a modern audience. His paintings are not merely visual explorations but rather profound dialogues with the culture, identity and rebellion found within the urban environment.
Through meticulous attention to detail and a nuanced understanding of colour and form, Fox’s works serve as a testament to the hidden beauty and enduring spirit of street art, weaving a tangible connection between the every day and the extraordinary. His collection is a love letter to the streets, a celebration of the unspoken, and a compelling journey through contemporary Ireland’s visual voice
