Laura Carroll; Fine Art: Paint

Statement

Looking at decoration and femininity has always been a prevalent theme throughout my work, working with a variety of mixed mediums and materials. My work ranges from drawing and collage to photography (both medium format double exposures and digital work), which I try to bring together through installation based pieces.

Rosaleen Tanham; Art & Design: Paint (Part-Time)

"My home place, the West of Ireland, is very beautiful.  It is my sense of this place that anchors, grounds and feeds me.  Nature is my inspiration. The always fascinating seascapes, skyscapes and landscapes.   Constantly changing, transmuting, recycling through the seasons, birth, death, regeneration.  Constantly surprising –  shapes, colours, forms, lines, patterns.  Endlessly entertaining.  I try, a lot of the time frustratingly, to capture it through my work, using pencil and paint, watercolour, acrylic and oil." Rosaleen Tanham

Observing people and their surroundings, my work relates to a sense of place.  My aim is to capture the ambience and spirit of the moment.

Jason Dunne; Fine Art: Paint

Statement

My interest lies in deconstructing images, narratives, and how these are read by the viewer. I expose how signifiers are used when viewing and understanding artworks, structuring narratives, and building relations across different media. I believe this can be done through seemingly abstract frameworks, and through this I expose the uncertain constructs of abstraction itself. I use the aesthetic frame to both allow and expose empathy between the artist and viewer.

Fiona Doyle; Fine Art: Paint

Fiona Doyle is a 4th year student, studying Fine Art in GMIT. Her speciality is paint, with interests in photography and graphics which she uses in her work. She is currently working on a collection of paintings to use in the CCAM upcoming show in May. Below is a statement by the artist accompanied by two photographs of some of her paintings. They are painted with acrylic, oil and watercolour onto raw canvas. For any further information Fiona can be contacted by the  email address below.

"My work involves de-constructing photographs I have taken and translating them into paintings. They contain a sense of space due to layers of juxtaposing images; exploring a relationship between reality and a created world."

Jackie Burke; Fine Art: Paint

Artwork and statement by artist Jackie Burke, who is participating in our upcoming show.

"The visual language of film is used here to prompt discussion on the structures of society. Solidifying imagery that visualizes the unspeakable. These works could be considered conspiratorial, like propaganda. The work invites others into an examination of how we are coerced by the authority of mediated images."
