Murals Ireland was delighted to work with R.P.A and Luas to design
and develop the 130 ft mural at the Belgard Luas station in Dublin.
In consultation with Tony Williams of R.P.A it was decided that
the mural should depict scenes of Dublin City as it was in the 1950’s,
and that it should be painted in the style of L.S Lowry, Known for
his “Matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs”.
We
chose many public buildings the G.P.O, Trinity Collage, City hall
but were also careful to ensure that working class streets of old
included, Winetavern Street / Thomas Davis Street etc.
In
our painting of the Ha'penny Bridge we included an Irish round tower
and used the bridge as a conduitl through time to take us to our
modern round tower (“The Spire”).
