The conversation will focus on the artist's current body of work while also looking back at this career to date: from abstract art to portrait and landscape, from a practice of oil painting to the almost-exclusive use of watercolour painting of late, the exploration of the artist's various themes of interest such as homelessness, the Irish diaspora, the Irish civil war and climate change, and in more general terms, maybe, the artist's deep historical inquiry, interlinked with personal interrogation and empathy.
Milestones in the career of the artist will also be discussed, such as the production of the Cogadh na gCarad video projected in the Garden of Remembrance and its later acquisition by the OPW – one of only two film works in their contemporary Irish Art collection.
