Meaning & Analysis

In comparison with screen prints created by the artist in 2014, such as Samson’s Nostalgia Trap or The Unveiling, Belfast Warrior strikes with the simplicity of its visual language. Harrington’s signature references to Baroque and period costumes are renounced here as he focuses solely on a single human figure and uses only two colours to render its mysterious likeness. The titular warrior is captured in full length as he stands with his legs apart and knees slightly bent. The upper part of his body is noticeably leaning back, which attributes the posture with a sense of flexibility and lightness. The warrior’s bodily shape lacks a vivid contour on the left side and the dynamic brushstrokes make it look like his limbs are set in motion. This representation not only links the figure to an ongoing sense of movement. The man’s hands are raised upwards, invoking the movements of a dancer, the subtlety of which clashes with the sword as the central attribute of the warrior.

  • Irish-born artist, Conor Harrington, transcends artistic boundaries with his dynamic visual language. Born in 1980, Harrington seamlessly melds classical painting styles with more contemporary, abstract techniques. His monumental works weave narratives around gender, identity and social commentary, whilst his visual language brings together the old and the new, and draws parallels between cultural issues that transcend time. Harrington's bold strokes combined with subtle detail provoke introspection and have the ability to command attention in both urban and gallery spaces. This unique fusion of street and canvas cements Harrington's legacy in the urban art scene.
