Joe Caslin

Joe Caslin is an Irish street artist, academic and activist. Best known for his beautifully rendered pencil drawings, which manifest as towering pieces of street art. His highly accessible work engages directly with social issues on an unavoidable scale. Caslin confronts the subjects of suicide, drug addiction, marriage equality, stigma, immigration, consent, sectarian division and disability. The monochrome drawings Caslin creates live with us and against many of us for some time before washing away. They hold a mirror up to the kind of society that we are, whilst asking us individually what kind of society we want to be a part of.
