Finbarr DAC

Fin DAC (Finbarr Dac) was born in Cork, Ireland. He lives and works in London. He is in his forties and, besides his artistic career, he is the director of an online street art gallery. He is self-taught with influences ranging from dark graphic novels to Francis Bacon.

Fin DAC has defined and perfected an atypical paint/stencil style that ignores the accepted visual language of street art almost completely. He calls it 'Urban Aesthetics' - a modern-day take on a 19th century art movement. A self-taught and non-conformist artist, Fin DAC's realist work and skilled stencilling has earned him an incredibly successful solo show in 2010 and has made him a regular fixture in high end gallery shows.

He is also dedicated to putting his work on the streets which is now all over the world from Bogota to Berlin.
