ABOUT THE ARTWORK

“The word pentimento is derived from the Italian “pentirsi”, which means to repent or change your mind. Pentimento is a change made by the artist during the process of painting. These changes are usually hidden beneath a subsequent paint layer. In some instances they become visible because the paint layer above has become transparent with time." - My Prosumer paintings are inspired by the juxtaposition of the formalism of the practical design aesthetics of product packaging to contrast with the spontaneity of random expressionism. To wit, I stencil commercial container developments over layers of stains and drawings on canvas. The Pentimento series are a variant of this process; I re-use old paintings and prints; sometimes mine, sometimes others, or commercial canvas prints, even wallpaper. In the measure, I may well yet become a true penitent.

Born in Kilkenny,Ireland.My work is primarily concerned with consumption/consummation in its various incarnations be it mental, political and/or carnal; incorporating the means by which such media (i.e. food, propaganda/news, sexual mores) is prepared, conveyed and digested. As befits this conception my influences are wide ranging and eclectic, often combining disparate sources and genres to create new mixed-media hybrids. Subsequently my recent methodology seeks to combine digital and traditional print-making techniques. (Sometimes though I just draws for the sake of it and then try to make sense of it later. Y'know, juxtaposition between consciousness, unconsciousnessand semi-controlled happenstance)
