On the corner of St. Patrick Street and Clanbrassil Street in Dundalk, Aches painted a monumental mural where a young face and a horse intersect. The realistic portraits and RGB colour fields lend the work an intense, almost cinematic tension. A powerful example of contemporary Irish street art that gives the city a new visual rhythm.

The work is part of a series of murals that originated in Dundalk around 2019-2020, when the city launched an urban art initiative to transform vacant facades into works of art.

Features of the work:
Realistic portrait of a young man with an intense gaze, combined with a horse — typical of Aches’ style, in which he mixes photorealism with vibrant color fields and geometric shapes.
The background with circles and color gradient refers to his RGB separation technique, where he uses three color channels to create depth and energy.
