Artist Statement:
Why is it, or how is it that
after the most incredible
artistic revolution which
occurred at the beginning of
the last century, Art has
become the most static of all
the arts. Considering, that
experimentation into the use
of computers and technology in
artistic expression started
proper in the 50’s, why then
is art not catering for
increased social awareness and
using the tools that are
currently and for some time
have been at their disposal.
What would the Futurists,
Cubists, Constructivists etc.
have made of this advanced
technology, if you consider
for example what the Futurists
did with cinema in 1916, and
the cubists with painting and
sculpture. Lets not, belittle
all the very unique and ground
breaking work that was created
in the 50 years that followed,
Fluxus, OP Art, pop art,
kinetic art, happenings etc.
It seems after Nam juin Pak,
everything went horizontal,
even his work...What is next?
What has happened to the
modern day artist?
Commerciality perhaps! Lack of
inspiration? Skill? Time?...

| Your Personal Biography |
After spending 2 years is Paris studying, developing, and creating a style & concepts, I moved to Shanghai to teach VC & NM to Chinese students. 3 years, 3 exhibitions later I have returned to Europe, Denmark and after taking a break, have started creating works again.
In College I studied Art & Design Education, majoring in VC in NCAD, Dublin. My skills and knowledge developed quickly here, in all areas of Graphics & Fine art, as well as art history, sociology, philosophy and psychology of education.
I brought these skills with me into commercial multimedia, and within 1 year had become Creative director. Over the next 6 years I learnt everything about production in all areas of MM for all platforms, inc. development of high end video and animation.
It was in Shanghai that I found myself mentally ready to channel all I have learned and studied into my Art. My work (mediart) consists of Digital print & stills, visual and interactive installations, painting & sculpture. A lot of my projects are very ambitious in scale, so as a non-commercial artist I do not support the finance to produce them. I am currently working on several pieces for my first large show in Denmark. |
