About The Artwork

This is a painting of the Sun, inspired by photos of solar flares on the surface of the sun and diagrams of the magnetic waves that emanate from it. It's also inspired by the power and mystery that the sun embodies. During the solar eclipse of 1999 I looked at the sun without shades (squinting) while it partly disappeared and returned. Afterwards everything I looked directly at had a golden hue to it. The sun itself though, when looked at directly (squinting!), seems to change colour all the time. It gives everything colour, so it must contain all the colours within itself. It's painted some promotional literature for a supermarket and mounted it on a piece of wood which has rails on the back for hanging purposes. The advertising words and images, though barely discernable, lend the painting another layer of meaning.

I was born in London, have lived in Dublin most of my life, and also in France for about a year in total. I've always painted; as a way to process what I see around me, as entertainment- to take a detour from one's surroundings, and as a form of commentary. One of the things that motivates me is the belief that we as individuals can and should have the freedom to do as we see fit, as long as nobody gets harmed in the process. This comes through in the multitude of techniques and materials I use to make my paintings. If it's there why not use it?
