ADW
Irish street artist ADW explores the complex relationship and challenges between our creativity, individuality and expression in modern society. He combines street art and digital design background to create engaging works of art that depict his perspective of the world around him.
After five years studying Animation in Ballyfermot College, Dublin, he moved to Britain to work in the computer games industry. As a determined creative and social activist, the economic collapse in Ireland provided the backdrop for much of his art and street-art, earning him much acclaim and recognition in the process.
His art attempts to reflect the everyday hopes and fears of the ordinary people. Laced with satire and burnt by honesty, his pieces are often imbued with a dash of acerbic humour.
