2014 marks the second year of the Gibson Hotel’s Artist in Residency Programme. The endeavour is a civic and entrepreneurial effort to improve the look and feel of the Docklands area. This year’s artist, Fin Dac, has produced a mural for the Gibson Hotel to rejuvinate the often visually neglected Docklands area. Titled ‘Urban Aesthetics’, his work is mainly stencil based, created in a unique way and heavily influenced by all forms of Asian art. He uses paintbrushes as well as stencils and sprays to create his pieces. His work is all about beauty and aesthetics, and the need for both of these in the stark urban landscape. 

Fin’s commercial work includes commissions for The Royal Albert Hall, Armani, G-Star, Red Bull, Jagermeister and London 2012 Olympics. He has painted/exhibited alongside respected artists such as Goldie, Nick Walker, Jamie Reid and Jef Aerosol.We are delighted to see such talent improving the unique area that is the Docklands.
