‘The Snug’.
An immersive installation by much-loved illustrator Fatti Burke toasting the Irish pub’s sacred space and its special place in our culture.

Hen’s Teeth has partnered with Fatti to celebrate The Snug through an installation that will pop-up in their Blackpitts, Dublin 8 gallery from the 28th of July to the 15th of August. The Snug is kindly supported by our friends at Guinness, and all visitors will get a complimentary pint of plain while they enjoy the show!
Hic.
Fatti sez:
“I wanted to create a place of surreal familiarity on the walls of The Snug, covered in graphic artwork and nostalgic ephemera. There’s a shared longing for warm nights in the pub with your favourite people, and I took this longing along for a cheeky ride. Snugs have a comforting feeling and you want to leave them covered in jokes and brightness and freshly made memories. It’s about fun and Irishness and the power to be found in having a laugh.”
