Emic

Belfast based street artist Emic has been active since 2012. In that time his work has evolved from paper paste-ups of deconstructed architecture into large-scale hand-painted murals.

We’ve worked with Emic for over a decade and have watched him develop into one of Ireland’s most important artists. In the last few years Seedhead and Daisychain have engaged him for major works in Coleraine, Belfast, Newtownards.

He combines human and natural forms to create stories. People and place are at the core of the artists intentions as he makes work to represent the unique identity of each location of his art.

Emic is curator for hit the north street art festival, co-founded loft collective and is a member of vault artist studios. Throughout his career he has organised events and exhibitions that have added to the development of the street art scene in Belfast. A place that has become a hotbed for contemporary urban art which stands in stark contrast to its historical murals.
