London based artist Conor Harrington was recently in Spain for the Wide Walls Event where he laced the streets Mallorca with a new piece. Conor stays true to his dripping technique in this portrait of a young boy (above), the monochromatic palette allowing the drama of the image to shine.

Fin Dac and Dtoar, have been working on a new collaboration in the streets of LA. Their styles intertwine perfectly, delivering a wholly harmonious piece. Like with Conor Harrington, the lack of color creates a focus on shapes and shadows to create movement and realism. This explosion of monochromatic tones carry as much vivacity as any use of color could. From textured brush strokes to dynamic framing, these artists have monochromes down pat.

Fin DAC was last spotted last November in Wales (bottom) for “The Duke of Lancaster” Project. The Irish artist couples his trademark monochromatic palette with a splash of color to make each piece pop. He is now in Cartagena, Columbia where he recently completed the breath taking piece “La Heroica.”

Fin DAC was spotted in Poland for the Szablon Dzem Festival. The stencil artist finds subtle and innovative ways to depict the Asian culture through the use of symbols and colors. Some classify DAC’s art as Asian-Pop.

His monochromatic figures mixed with a splash of color brings life and movement to the streets. The Irish artist’s characters are both sensual and empowering. His understanding of the human body and posture is one of his highlighted artistic qualities.
