This striking monochrome mural depicts Harry Tempest (1881–1964), one of Dundalk’s notable cultural figures: printer, publisher, artist, cartoonist, writer, local historian, archivist and graphic designer.
It was created in 2022 by Portuguese artist Mariana Duarte Santos for Dundalk’s SEEK Urban Arts Festival, an initiative that uses large-scale street art to tell stories from the town’s history and heritage.
Tempest belonged to a family closely associated with printing in Dundalk. Their printing works dated back to 1859, and Harry became particularly associated with the Tempest’s Annual, a publication recording local history, personalities and events which has itself become a valuable archive of Dundalk life.
Duarte Santos depicts him surrounded by the tools and interests of his working life — books and papers, a typewriter, drawing materials and examples of printed work. The result is rather more than a portrait: it evokes the study of a man whose fascination with his home town helped preserve its history for later generations. The artist herself describes the mural as a tribute to this Dundalk “man of many talents.”
The mural forms part of the expanding open-air gallery created by SEEK, founded in 2019 to reconnect Dundalk with significant people and episodes from its past through contemporary street art.
