Remember this 2015 #YesEquality mural? Here are 7 more of Joe Caslin's creations

Joe Caslin’s beautiful large scale artworks have garnered global recognition.

JOE CASLIN’S WORK hit a national spotlight in 2015 thanks to a mural called the Claddagh Embrace.

The image of two men embracing on the side of the Rick’s Burgers building on Dame St became something of a visual icon of the #YesEquality campaign, despite being washed off within a few days thanks to rainfall.

The Roscommon born artist uses his art as a means to encourage public engagement with murals relating to mental health, direct provision, drug legislation and more.

Caslin’s large-scale photo-realistic portraits, usually wheat pasted onto buildings, have covered walls at Trinity College, Collins Barracks and more.

Here are 7 Caslin creations you may have spotted around Ireland – and beyond.

1. ‘Finding Power’ at the National Gallery, Dublin

2. ‘Young and Troubled’ on RTÉ’s Donnybrook Campus

3. At Collins Barracks, Dublin

4. The Volunteers at Trinity College, Dublin

5. A portrait from last year’s Waterford Walls festival

6. At Galway’s Spanish Arch

7. At the stairs near Old College, Edinburgh
