Cork graffiti artist ‘has world at his feet’

From the street to the world stage — an Irish graffiti artist has “the world at his feet” after one of his dynamic paintings sold at auction for more than €100,000.

However, Cork-born Conor Harrington, 34, said he would love more than anything else to be invited home to paint “a big wall” as part of a outdoor public art project.

Conor and his wife Chloe celebrated the birth of their first child, Seamus, seven weeks ago, but there is little time to rest as Conor is preparing for a major exhibition of his work in a Moscow museum next year.
