ABOUT THE ARTWORK
‘Snapshots of Guinness’ is a 49-panel 'Snapshots' painting depicting a number of iconic buildings and locations with links to Guinness and the Guinness family in Ireland. I painted this piece following a number of commissions by Guinness (Diageo plc) to visually document their iconic St. James's Gate location in Dublin city. In researching these paintings I was granted access to the buildings on the site of this world-famous Brewery. These site visits resulted in a number of 'snapshots' paintings including parts of this 'city within a city' which few are privy to. The St James's Gate Brewery has its own metro-style tunnel running under James St, its own narrow gauge railway track and a 'cash room' that dates back to the days when publicans came to Guinness to pay their bills. The Snapshots series aims to depict and represent areas through a series of images or 'snapshots' of well and some lesser-known buildings and places. I paint using clean lines and strong colours. These bold blocks of colour suit the subject of largely urban environments, taking ‘snapshots’ of views which are the familiar evocative pieces that make up the jigsaw of the world we inhabit. This snapshots piece features a number of historical and iconic buildings in Dublin and Kildare including the Guinness Storehouse, St James's Gate, Celbridge (birthplace of Arthur Guinness), and many of the original buildings and features in the Guinness Brewery in Dublin 8.

I paint from my studio in Celbridge, Co. Kildare using bold blocks of vibrant colour and thick black lines to help accentuate shape and form. Having recently launched the ‘Snapshot’ series with ‘Snapshots of Dublin’ (launched at Art Source RDS 2019), I spend much of my time photographing and sketching the known and lesser-known sights of the city in order to capture new panels for the ‘snapshot’ series. The Snapshots series attempts to look at our built environment through a new lens and depict the familiar places around us in the way we actually view these places from day-to-day. This can almost be described as an instagram-style approach to viewing the city where we capture the world around us through a series of ‘snapshots’. To achieve the poster-style effect of these paintings I use highly pigmented fluid acrylic paint and strong lines and colours. This series lends itself well to commissions whereby clients choose various sights around their city or local environment which are significant to them. This can often result in a final piece which incorporates ‘snapshots’ from different cities and even countries.
