Barry McGee and Margaret Kilgallen were a married couple with a child that mainly focused on graffiti art. All of their art-works were hand painted, and most of it was influenced by folklore. Their work varied from installations, to canvas paintings, to painting on trains, and many other subjects.
Barry's work is basically a representation of the hard times he had growing up in an urban area. The pieces are all very abstract and have a very and sad gloomy feel to them.
Margaret's works were mainly murals and paintings that were representations of folk art. She was influenced by Mexican art works. Margaret dies at the age of 33 from breast cancer.
