A striking mural painting by a renowned UK artist is the latest captivating addition to the 2023 Waterford Walls Festival event.
Taking centre stage at the iconic Fitzwilton Hotel on Bridge Street, this large-scale masterpiece by UK artist, Dan Kitchener aka DANK, promises to enchant and captivate both locals and visitors alike.
Waterford Walls has long been celebrated for its commitment to urban transformation through vibrant street art, providing a unique platform for artists to unleash their creativity on the city’s walls. This year’s festival promises to be no exception, as the addition of Dan Kitchener’s mural elevates the artistic landscape to new heights.
The Fitzwilton Hotel graciously offered its 15-metre high wall to serve as the canvas for Kitchener’s latest work. The striking mural portrays a traditional Japanese scene that depicts a porcelain geisha and the magic of Asia.
