Ministry of Walls is delighted to present Fin DAC’s “Taaniko”.
The story goes that the Irish artist was invited to the Street Prints Mauao street art festival in Tauranga, New Zealand in 2015. After being given a wall on Totara Street, however, with no particular idea of what to paint, it was suggested that he paint a local Maori as a juxtaposition to his signature Asian portraits. Since he had two paintings at his disposal, Fin DAC combined the two paintings, resulting in the mural “Taaniko”.
