Artwork description:

My Idea comes from the E.S.B box that I painted here in Bedford Row, Limerick city last year for the city of culture. It’s an extension onto that idea so its funfair themed based on 'the claw' games at funfairs/carnivals that we all played as children, so it will be very bright and colourful and fun to look at especially if you’re a child. I've included some photos of the Limerick box I painted and also some photos from where I got the idea for the box as it could have coloured balls, cuddly toys, sweets,prizes ect.in

Biography:

From Limerick, I go under the artist name L.U.A.S which is an acronym for. (Limerick Urban Art Stencil) I've painted at the 'Make a Move' hip hop/urban art festival here in Limerick for the past 3 years. I'm a hand-cut stencil artist but I also paint free hand. I’d all started for me 4 years ago after I watched a street art documentary called 'Exit through the gift shop' and it has been a passion ever since. I’m currently studying Art & Design here in Limerick.
