Fran Greene

I am a professional artist living in South East of Ireland.

I graduated in 2017 with an Honours degree in Fine Art from Carlow IT.

An accidental slip of paint on paper in my 3rd year in college has influenced my work to its current direction, through long endless process and experimentation with oil paint, white spirit and paper, I have found ways without brushes to manifest and conjour imagery by mark making through the wet mix by the time it dries.

The works are not made from outside locations, the locations come from chance encounters trying to make balance from order and chaos and never sure which appeals more to the eye. My current work also plays with texture directions of forms and background trying to capture the illusions of depth perspective. Each work meandering between readable and unreadable, traditional and abstract, reality and dream, there and not there. I offers the viewer escape, a place to find what he has left but also enough chaos so the viewer can find forms and emotions individual to their experience with life.
