About Me
Hi, I'm Connor Halligan, a mixed media artist based in Glasgow, blending street art and impressionism to create vibrant, layered works that reflect themes of mental health, mythology, and my own experiences. I often combine colourful collages and spray paint techniques, drawing inspiration from artists like Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Van Gogh. Creating art is my therapy; it helps me transform life’s challenges into bold and meaningful pieces. My work has been exhibited internationally, including in Los Angeles, and I’ve collaborated with the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival to showcase my unique mix of urban and contemporary styles.
