372-KASKEIDE 1 Painting

Irish plastic artist living in Granada, Spain, for the past 40 years or so. Inspired by Jackson Pollock, Rothko, Picasso, Dalí, Yoko Ono, Freud,Basquiat and a few more. Over 500 artworks created in a 30 year career. I do not use paint brushes, more keen on spatulas, knives, syringes, blotters, screw drivers, pieces of wood, cardboard, gravity, fingers, and anything that might get me to the effect i am looking for. In the past i have done some comercial artwork, for local companies. My paintings reach for a different effect at different moments of the day or the night, depending on natural or artificial light conditions. Going abstract was a big thing for me. I started doing scenes and spray can painting, and that developed to where i am now. Now, at nearly 50 years of age, my artistic career is getting my artwork to known in at least 10 countries right now, and i am enjoying every minute of it !. When doing my artwork, i am just as happy doing a little 6x6cm abstract, as a mural, or a 1x1 sq mt tablex piece. Most of my actual work is done on canvas, and Tablex. My 'normal' paints are acrylic, oil, ink, spray can, multi effect paint, tempera, engine oil, and a few more that i experiment with. And going back to me, i love to travel as much as possible,swim, ride motorbikes, and of course, paint with my slapstick abstract style. My main interests (not in order), are travelling, architecture, film watching, eating unique food, beer, Indie music, Steampunk, main culture and geopolitics,cycling, swimming, trekking and staying fit.
