Artist Profile

Dubhghaill.art. Rooted in the rich tones of his Irish surname, Dubhghaill—meaning “dark stranger”—his art captures the enigmatic and iconic essence of the music world. Each piece is a symphony in black and silver, using acrylic paint pens to bring musical legends to life with stark, striking contrast.

A self-taught artist, Dubhghaill has been wielding his pens since his teenage years, initially drawing inspiration from rock and metal album covers. His early canvases were the walls of his bedroom and his biker jacket, covered in the names of metal bands. Influenced by artists like Jim Fitzpatrick, Roy Lichtenstein, Banksy, and Pure Evil, his style fuses pop art precision with street art edge.

His work has been exhibited at Vital Studios in Sunnyside (2024) with The Sound of Shadows, Greenpoint Gallery (2024), CultureLab LIC (2025), and Bowie & Friends in Aubergine Cafe (2026) reflecting his rising presence in New York’s art scene.
