The 'Complexions' artwork on Benburb Street |
How this stretch of Benburb Street looked like before 'Complexions' |
As an earlier post put it, the street has had a chequered past. It's still somewhat run down at the moment, though you could see a definite turning point after the Luas arrived a decade ago.
The tramline provides a natural promenade and removes most of the cars, though until last spring your morning stroll or cycle ride would be marred by the ugly derelict buildings and hoardings on the north side of the street.
Since last May these have been covered up and brightened up by a brilliant little public art show called Complexions - An Exhibition of Character. Indeed, one or two of you might recognise some of these local characters.
