Conor Harrington
Conor Harrington is an Irish artist based in London known for his impressive bodies of work that grace both streets and gallery walls. His distinctive style, which fuses traditional oil painting and classicism with contemporary street art styles and techniques, serves as the vehicle through which Harrington expresses compelling views on challenging themes facing society today.
About The Blind Exit
Harrington’s work frequently examines national identity, using strong colours with thought provoking imagery to create both visual and ideological contrasts. Using a complex and labour-intensive 28-colour separation method, this printing technique gives the editions a stunning clarity of form and vibrancy. The artwork has existed as both an oil painting and mural before being made into a 28-layer screen print.
As the artist said, 'I also painted this scene on a wall on Trafalgar Rd in Greenwich, an area famous for its maritime history. You’ll find the Cutty Sark there as well as the Royal Naval College. It’s a part of London with a very strong connection to Britain’s empire past so I thought it would be a very interesting part of London to paint the mural.'

Because there are limited editions available, HENI tries to ensure that everyone has a chance to purchase an edition, which means there is an application period.
Due to the high demand for HENI Editions, HENI tries to ensure that the artworks are sold broadly and fairly (rather than on a ‘first come, first served’ basis).
