Temple Bar
Went into Dublin on a sunny afternoon and visited sebastianguinnessgallery. The show was full of mad and vibrant street art and graffiti inspired art in a variety of media. The piece i like most was called “It’s not a laughing matter” by Joe Black, because of the way the image was created out of ball bearings.
I’ve always loved type and this piece definatley stands out!

But what i love the most about this type of art is it make you think when does graffitti become art….? personally i love most street art in all it’s forms, and it’s funny to think that art which started off controversially on the streets now sells for loads of cash in galleries!
(See my own photos of Bansky - probably the most famous street artist at the moment)
Anyway it’s worth popping in for a look atthis work and their next exhibtion is called “The Art of Chess” and starts 12th September.
