Claire Prouvost is a French visual artist based in Dublin. Her colourful, bold and minimal style draws inspiration from the Cubists. She loves to diversify her practice and work on a variety of mediums, from digital illustration, acrylic painting to large-scale murals and street art. Her work explores the complexity of relationships and human interactions through deconstructed figures, intuitive lines and expressive colourful shapes.
The design is inspired by the Firkin Crane dance centre around the corner. This mural is a hint to the location of the iconic building. I wanted to represent the energy and movement of dance, music, theatre and performance arts, and how it connects human beings. Cork and Ireland overall have an ancestral culture of dance and music that is still evolving to this day, from traditional to more contemporary performances. The cheerful colour palette is a visual representation of the various artforms as well as the impact of dance on our wellbeing, for both the performers and the public.
