'The Dream' - Belfast / Northern Ireland as part of 'Hit The North - street art festival' - So pleased to finally reveal my latest mural, this time in Belfast, great to be back for my second year painting for HTN, at the crazy Culture Night city festival! Every mural I do is a challenge, and this was particularly challenging. In total, it was around 11 hours from start to finish, all freehand, all by eye. Painting under pressure I think fuelled me to complete this quickly! It really captures the mood and feeling that I wanted to put across, something different from my rain soaked Tokyo cityscapes. A sense of stillness, beauty, calm and dreaming, the geisha emerging rom the darkness with one solitary spotlight. Waiting to unfurl, like a butterfly as the light warms her, she smiles and holds the folds of her glistering kimono closer to her

Belfast / Northern Ireland, by Dan Kitchener on Sept 23, 2017 8:42:01 GMT 1, thank you! It's an image i shot a while ago, and was desperately looking for the right wall to paint it on, so when this wall was given to me, it fit perfectly! I like the contrast in this type of image, from the fully lit, neon filled scenes and geishas, this relies far more on delicate paint strokes, and subtle lighting and colouring..although i painted it with speed, fury and energy, with pumping music blasting in my ears....

Belfast / Northern Ireland, by Harveyn on Sept 23, 2017 9:19:46 GMT 1, Fantastic work Dan. I missed this again this year as Thur/Fri with work just never works for me. I will certainly dropped down over the weekend to catch your work.
I am not sure why like upfest they do not move this to Sat/Sun.
