Meaning & Analysis

A middle-aged man in a green shirt occupies a central part of the print, embodying the challenge of the military service as he appears overshadowed by the stencilled image of a weapon and bold splashes of paint. Before creating When We Were Kings (2012) or The Unveiling (2014), the famous screen prints that cemented his status as an international artist, Harrington produced large-scale murals around New York, Miami, Paris, London and Copenhagen. The fusion of various techniques in Where The Sun Does Shine reminds the viewer that Harrington’s creative identity originates from street art of his native Cork, and only later involved interest in printmaking mediums. The artist commented in this context of influences on his art: "I'm interested in empire and cycles of power and how we're seeing a shift away from European dominance".

  • Irish-born artist, Conor Harrington, transcends artistic boundaries with his dynamic visual language. Born in 1980, Harrington seamlessly melds classical painting styles with more contemporary, abstract techniques. His monumental works weave narratives around gender, identity and social commentary, whilst his visual language brings together the old and the new, and draws parallels between cultural issues that transcend time. Harrington's bold strokes combined with subtle detail provoke introspection and have the ability to command attention in both urban and gallery spaces. This unique fusion of street and canvas cements Harrington's legacy in the urban art scene.
