'Irish Banksy' Fin DAC teams up with top Ibiza nightclub, creating stunning 30ft mural
World-renowned street artist Fin DAC has lent his magic touch to James Hype and MEDUZA's much-anticipated 'Our House' summer residency at Hï Ibiza - the club recently crowned the world's number one for the fourth consecutive year.
The collaboration has seen the artist create original artworks, limited edition prints, and a towering 30ft mural on the side of the club itself.
The mural, titled 'Ultra', features one of the artist's signature masked female figures and now looms large over the queues of clubbers lining up to enter Hï Ibiza's flagship venue, The Theatre.
As part of the creative partnership, four of Fin DAC's characters - Delta, Ultra, Exciter, and Violater - will front the campaign for the residency, which runs weekly on Monday nights throughout June to September.
James Hype and MEDUZA, two of the most in-demand names in electronic music, will also be debuting some futuristic concepts as part of the residency.
Italian house music collective MEDUZA will showcase their hybrid-live format MEDUZA3, while James Hype introduces SYNC, a high-energy DJ set that directly controls and responds to visual effects via advanced MIDI technology.
Fin DAC's contribution includes limited edition prints of each character, with only 50 copies of each image being released via West Contemporary Editions. Every print is hand-signed, numbered, and features a unique tattoo and artist logo.
Speaking about the collaboration, Fin DAC cited the influence of late '80s and early '90s club culture and design.
He said: 'In fashion, everything tends to be on a 30 year cyclical trend, this was what I had in mind when approaching these artworks for Our House. My own experience of the late '80s and early '90s was as an avid clubber/DJ in the UK with numerous annual trips to The White Isle to lap up as much as I could of that scene.
'You could say my life was music, fashion and art/design... all the elements that I wanted to embed in this project.
'Nightclub flyers of that era featured artists like Jason Brooks heavily and so I definitely wanted the attitude of his ladies to come across in my own artworks.
'When undertaking the preliminary designs, I also named each individual character after a Depeche Mode album: a band who got bigger and bigger throughout the late '80s and early '90s and have a been a permanent in my life since my early teens. Those names aren't public knowledge but still for me they grounded the artworks in the period I was reimagining.
'Stylistically the artworks are a blend of two distinct periods of my art life: a monochromatic style that I emerged with as an artist and a neon style that I first started doing in 2021. The merging of colourful/neon graphic backgrounds and a spitting style of monochromatic spray paint (with an addition of club style lighting) seemed perfect'
The project is the result of a joint effort between Club Class Music Management and art consultancy agency West Contemporary, combining top-tier music programming with immersive art direction. According to MEDUZA, the experience begins before fans even enter the club, with Fin DAC's mural setting the tone: 'Welcome to Our House.'
