About my artwork
Statement 2008

“The gravity series” paintings I’ve been working on for the past three years in my studio in Dublins Henrietta street are vibrant colourful abstract works that are based around the concept of gravity.
They are mostly process driven and retain a truthfulness to materials paint on canvas, surface / support, non illusionists or representational, but explore the physicality and luminosity of the paint itself.
Colour although often does reference the natural world i.e.; blue equates with water / sky, the colour red to fire / blood etc and some of the paintings can seem to reference landscape or reflections in water viewed through a many layered surface
There is also a performative element in the making of the paintings and because it is usually oil paint being used which can take a long time to dry between layers of paint a history is embedded in the surfaces of the works.
Artists I like
Caravaggio-Goya-Picasso-Gerhard Richter-Robert Mapplethorp-Jenny Saville
Howard Hodgin-Barry Flanagan-Andy Warhol-Marc Quinn-Jean Micheal Basquiat.
Louise Bourgeois-Edward Kienholz-Michael Cullen-Thomas Demand
Francis Bacon-Sean Scully-Mathew Barney-Mark Francis + many more.
What exhibitions are good at the moment?
Julian Opie, Walking on O'Connell street. Dublin City Gallery,The Hugh Lane.
Miquel Barcelo: The Africian Work.
Janaina Tschape: Chimera. IMMA Dublin.
The centre of the artworld is
New York, London, LA, Berlin, Beijing, my studio, online, nowhere and everywhere

Hi Daniel - your photo montage collection is cleverly executed, enjoyed looking! Regarding luminosity in painting - I would love to be able to paint with skill but alas I am no painter! There is a painter on artreview whose paintings are all about luminosity - when I find the name I will post it for you. Jo
