Paul Ruairi Devine

My name is Paul Ruairi Devine I am a Artist from Derry, N Ireland

I work in a variety of mediums and in each i am still learning;

Video, Art, Poetry, Photography and Meme Culture.


I have exhibited in numerous Gallery's within Derry City

and my work generally reflects personal experience and environment.

I would call my work Outsider art / Art Brut.


My stuff varies from Contemporary pieces to fine art with a dollop of deliberately low-fi and raw content. blurred between the lines of the troubles and sesh culture. high art and low art; humorous with an anti-establishment ethos generally reflective of the disenfranchised local youth caught between politics and drugs; i also enjoy a laugh; some have called me a Comedian before calling me an Artist
