Lot 53 - Kieron/Ciaran, 2023 by Colm Mac Athlaoich Lot 53 Colm Mac Athlaoich Kieron/Ciaran, 2023
Estimate: €1,200 - €1,500
Colm Mac Athlaoich, b.1980 Kieron/Ciaran, 2023
Oil on canvas, 50 x 40cm, signed verso.

Provenance: Artists' Studio.

Exhibited: This work was part of the exhibition 'Island' organized by Ceadogan rugmakers.

Mac Athlaoich's paintings deal with ideas of materiality, process and perception. His works sit between figuration and abstraction, exploring the space between. He draws from his varied background in music as well as years of working for the Press media to question our relationship with the mass produced image. Central to his work is an interest in the interpretation of images due to their constant circulation and cyclical nature. Exploring the processes of image production open up new approaches in painting, setting new parameters and approaches to representation. Sourcing material from online social platforms as well as self documentation form a starting point to explore ideas of contemporary pathos and idyll.
