Fin DAC's 'Homage' Exhibition in London Church Crypt

The crypt of St. Martin's Lane Church in London, an 18th-century rococo architectural gem between the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, has been transformed into an exhibition space. It now hosts 'Homage', a solo show by street artist Fin DAC, curated by West Contemporary gallery. This is his first London solo exhibition in three years. The show features a series of works on paper that reimagine contemporary art icons in his signature urban style, combining pop colors and female figures. The portraits are 'split', with one half rendered in Fin DAC's distinctive aesthetic and the other half as a hand-made homage to artists who influenced his career. Subjects include Frida Kahlo, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Yayoi Kusama, Aubrey Beardsley, Keith Haring, Gustav Klimt, and Andy Warhol. Fin DAC, originally from Cork, Ireland, and also known as Finbarr Dac, is a self-taught street artist living in London. He has developed a style he calls 'urban aesthetics', blending acrylics and spray paint. He is globally recognized for his elegant, delicate depictions of Eurasian women in traditional, punk, or contemporary attire, asserting their presence in urban spaces across Spain, Germany, France, the United States, Brazil, and Italy.
