‘L’eau De Loire’ – a recently completed mural by Spanish artist Taquen on a 35 metre water tower at Gien in north central France featuring ospreys, herons and terns in flight. Of this paean to feathered visitors to the nearby Loire river he sez:

For me, movement is a basic form of knowledge, to get to know myself and my environment and learn to respect it. Birds are great symbols of freedom, animals that migrate thousands of kilometres each year with no one who can stop them.

Joining up with artist Asbestos we are presenting a contemporary response to ‘From Secret Block to ROSC‘ our centenary celebration display of [German artist and Fluxus founder]   Joseph Beuys’ work in the gallery from  July 14 – October 31.

The mural takes the form of a figure made of painted burnt matches. Each one represents a person who has sadly died from Covid-19. During its lifetime the mural will be updated with more matches until such time as when the pandemic has passed. The hoarding will feature a quote from Joseph Beuys book ‘The Secret Block for a Secret Person in Ireland‘ (1974): “pass freely from one level of existence to another…”

Aviva Stadium, Dublin 4.

One of Ireland’s largest street art projects has been completed.

Spanning 160.4 metres, the urban wildlife mural is part of a partnership between Iarnród Éireann and Aviva Stadium, and supported by Dublin City Council.

Barry Kenny writes:

It runs along the railway lines running under the West Stand of the Aviva Stadium and along the tunnel up to Lansdowne Road Level Crossing.

Wall 1 depicts the image of an urban fox, which are regularly spotted within the areas of city centre stations and has been created by artist and illustrator Dan Leo.

The image of an Urban Hawk created by Artists for All City Records, is in place on Wall 2 situated at the North end of Tunnel.

The central area displays a work collaboration between The Walls Project and Artists Holly Pereira, Omin and Decoy. The urban wildlife theme continues, depicting a black cat as it moves along the tunnel through, bright flowers, shapes and graphics.

A sense of ‘page flick’ movement can be seen by those passing on DART, Commuter and Rosslare Intercity services.

In fairness.

Members of Foróige, the National Youth Development Organisation attended the unveiling of their Shine With Pride mural by artist KinMxin in collaboration with SUBSET.

The artwork is inspired by the lived experiences of LGBTI+ young people who are part of Foróige. It tells the story of ‘how they found deep solace in nature during their coming out journeys while the central character in the artwork embodies LGBTI+ young people as they come out and blossom with pride’.
