Daire Irwin is an Irish artist. Working mainly in paint thus far, themes of identity and the figure dominate his early work. However he has recently began exploring the links and the ever increasing influence technology is having on society and indeed, on contemporary art.

He holds a degree in Design and Communication from the University of Ulster. His background in Design has influenced an interest in the dialogue between the digital and the natural.

Daire is the youngest artist to ever appear at the "Art Ireland" art fair. His artwork was also used in the international promotional campaign.

He has won RTE’s “Young Artsit" competition beating off 3000 competitors after receiving over 8000 votes in a telephone vote in March 2007.

Described by notated artist and photographer Jim Fitzpatrick as “an artist of extraordinary talent”. "The sheer technique and skill shown in his paintings is phenomenal for any painter, never mind someone of his age. I think he is going to go very far and quite quickly . I was blown away by him”-Jim Fitzpatrick

Daires work is held in private collections internationally, including E.M.I. records.
