Happy St. Patrick's Day dear readers!
We hope you are wearing green, drinking appropriately colored beer and finding four-leaf-clovers aplenty as we speak. If the boozy holiday doesn't already have you seeing double, we invite you to celebrate with us by honoring some of our favorite Irish artists.
From a Marina Abramovic prot?g? to a cow udder installation artist, these Irish blooded artists channel their shared heritage into vastly different works. Enjoy our quick roundup of Irish artists you should know and have a happy St. Patrick's Day!
Let us know your favorite Irish artists in the comments.
Patrick Jolley
<a href="http://patrickjolleyestate.com/" target="_blank">Patrick Jolley</a> (1964-2012) is known for his fragmented video, photography and installation that explore issues of despair and hopelessness with a twisted sense of humor. Introducing the macabre into the banality of everyday life, Jolley introduces hope for the possibility of the absurd.
Amanda Coogan
<a href="http://www.amandacoogan.com/" target="_blank">Amanda Coogan</a> (born 1971) is an Irish performance artist who studied under the grandmother of performance art herself, Marina Abramovic. Like her mentor, Coogan's work addresses the limits of the body. The artist also incorporates sign language into many of her works, although not deaf herself. The Irish Times called Coogan "the leading practitioner of performance in the country."
Denis Connolly
<a href="http://www.connolly-cleary.com/" target="_blank">Denis Connolly</a>, together with his partner Anne Cleary, create participative, creative technological pieces in a method they refer to as "observer participation." <a href="http://www.connolly-cleary.com/Home/About_Us.html" target="_blank">Thi Bich Doan wrote of the pair</a>: "They deliberately displace the spectator, taking away his fixed, predefined role to give him a new role as a legitimate player for his own observation, and the surprise of being a spectator to his own performance."
Dorothy Cross
<a href="http://www.frithstreetgallery.com/artists/bio/dorothy_cross" target="_blank">Dorothy Cross</a> (b. 1956) is known for her multimedia works made of cow skins and udders, creating a disturbing yet playful sculpture inviting viewers' curiosity and desire. Her work combines found objects and constructed images to create works with visual allure and intellectual stimulation.
Francis Bacon
Although we often think of Francis Bacon (1909 -1992), master of all things visceral and grotesque, as a British painter, he was in fact born in Dublin. The twisted soul behind such iconic images like the "Screaming Pope" was was born in Dublin at 63 Lower Baggot Street before moving to the UK.
