ON THE WALL / JAMES EARLEY
James Earley is an artist based in Dublin, Ireland. His distinctive style celebrates and pays homage to his family’s rich artistic past within Irish stained glass art.
Earley has been producing artworks in public spaces since 1997. He began painting letter-based graffiti and played an active role in the Irish graffiti movement. From 2010, he started to develop abstracted, figurative works with an aesthetic rooted in stained glass.
In 2014, James painted Blooms Hotel. The project took one year to complete, according to the festival’s artist biography.
He has travelled extensively with his art throughout Europe, the States, Asia and has worked on a variety of large scale projects with a mixture of arts-based organisations as well as multi-nationals that support the arts.

James Earley’s stained-glass-inspired 2019 mural reimagined the dying Cúchulainn tied to the standing stone Clochafarmore. Its colours echo the Irish tricolour. Painted on Brady’s pub, the work was replaced in 2022 and is preserved here in photographs.
