Hey folks, if anyone could help in the recovery of this piece of artwork, which my brother made, or if people could spread the info, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
A SHANE MacGOWAN Image (large print on Aluminum) from the Traditional and Folk Revival Section of the ICON WALK in Temple Bar was stolen over the weekend.
The Icon Factory is a non-profit, artist co-operative who, with the help of some friends, created the ICON WALK in Temple Bar earlier this year for both Tourists and Irish People alike to enjoy.
The Icon Factory is using the lesser known parts of Temple Bar as an outdoor art gallery so I suppose that the work on display could be classified as "Street Art"
The display, which begins around the corner from the Palace Bar tells the story of the evolution of Irish culture during the 20th Century as you walk through the side streets and lane-ways of Temple Bar. The images were produced by a number of local artists, members of the Icon Factory co-operative and other art groups. Each artist selected a popular Irish individual whom they considered made a contribution to the evolution of Irish culture over the past hundred years or so.
The area of Temple Bar where the Icon Walk is situated has enjoyed something of a rebirth in the past six months. Dulux sponsored the painting of the Icon Walk area with it's 'Let's Colour Project' and Icon Factory staff and volunteers aswell as some local businesses have kept the place as clean and litter free as much as possible.
Earlier this year another of the artworks on the Icon Walk was set on fire and destroyed.
The Icon Factory, being run by volunteers, do not have the funds to replace this. Any help or information towards recovering this piece of artwork would greatly appreciated.
