Collagraph and Drypoint on Paper Edition - 1/7 varied Brighton's West Pier, abandoned and decrepit, is what some might say an eyesore. Its beauty lies in its tragedy, a once thriving seaside attraction, falling by the wayside. It is a reminder of failing, isolation and destruction and that is what makes it so attractive in my eyes.

Born in 1981, he grew up in the Galway towns of Woodford and Loughrea. He has studied at G.T.I., the National College of Art & Design, Dublin, and at Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, Cluain Mhuire where he specialised in Fine Art Printmaking. He experiments in various subjects such as architecture, landscape, graphics and abstraction. He uses combinations of mediums and methods in his printmaking, but also painting, drawing and digital design. His work was used as an illustration in a poetry book published by Baffle, for the annual poetry festival in Loughrea in 2001 and again in 2003 when his work was chosen for the festival's poster and publications. Shane exhibited paintings in a group exhibition of recent graduates entitled LoughReaction in 2005. Recently he has shown work in Conflict a group exhibition with Lorg Printmakers as part of the Galway Art's Festival 2007 and also during the Clifden Arts Festival 2007. In 2009 he took part in 'Making Waves' in The Kenny Gallery, a major group exhibition on the theme of the sea to coincide with the visit to Galway of the Volvo Round the World Yacht Race. His work was selected to take part in a showcase of west of Ireland artists in The Rory Mitchell Gallery , Oslo, Norway. In association with www.irishart.no 'Out of the West' exhibited the work of Lisa Sweeney, Joe Boske, Leonie King and Hariatte Leander. In 2010 Shane's work was shown in both the Kerry Bike Festival in the Siamsa Tire gallery, Tralee where he won the second prize for his Flann O'Brien inspired picture 'The Bicycle and The Policeman' , and in the Unitarian Church in the Cork Bycycle Festival. 'Europes Edge' was probably the largest ever showing of Irish contemporary visual art in Norway. The exhibition in the University of Tromso contained the work of Brian Bourke HRHA, Mick O'Dea RHA, Eamonn O'Doherty, Rita Duffy RUA, amoung others. In 2011 he took part in a major group exhibition in The Kenny Gallery for the Galway Arts Festival. 'Nude - Blatant Exhibitionism' alongside John Behan RHA, Brian Ballard, Katerzyna Gajewska, Mario Sughi, Dean Kelly, Jennifer Cunningham, Brian Ferran and others. The theme of the exhibition was the nude and showed the variety of interpretation on this enduring theme. 2013 proved to be a very interesting year and his work took a more personal approach with the work shown in 'Pretty Pictures', a two man show with the painter Dean Kelly.
