I FIRST PHOTOGRAPHED THE MURALS IN 2012

Decoy, a renowned muralist and street artist based in Dublin, Ireland, is known for his large-scale, colourful, abstract compositions. His work often incorporates bold geometric shapes, playful characters, and a dynamic sense of movement and energy. Decoy's art aims to inject joy and vibrancy into urban spaces, transforming mundane walls into captivating works of art.

Throughout his career, Decoy has created numerous public murals across Ireland and participated in various street art festivals and events. He has collaborated with other artists and organisations, including the Dublin collective Subset and the Grey Area Project, dedicated to revitalising urban areas through street art.

Some of Decoy's notable works include:

Dragon Class: An abstract representation of DĂșn Laoghaire's seafaring fleet.
Memorial to the RMS Leinster Disaster: A poignant tribute to the lives lost in the 1918 tragedy.
