General Michael Collins was born in West Cork in 1890. This portrait depicts him walking at Portobello Barracks in Rathmines, Dublin, on 7 August 1922, just over two weeks before he was killed in an ambush at Béal na Bláth.

Inspired by Collins’s imposing physical presence and the distinctive green of his National Army uniform, this two-metre-tall upcycled artwork captures the commanding stature of Ireland’s Commander-in-Chief during the Civil War.
