Conor Harrington

Cork , Ireland

Conor Harrington is an Irish contemporary artist known for large-scale paintings and murals that merge Renaissance-inspired figuration with the energy of graffiti. Born in Cork and based in London, he uses dramatic movement, theatrical composition and expressive brushwork to explore power, conflict, masculinity and political tension. His figures often appear caught between elegance and collapse, creating scenes that feel both historical and urgently contemporary. By combining classical references with spray paint, abstraction and fragmented surfaces, Harrington has developed a distinctive visual language that bridges studio painting and street art. His work has earned international recognition across major murals, exhibitions and private collections.
