His identity has been kept secret but he has proved himself to have empecible taste, a deep wallet and a passion for supporting emerging Irish artists.
I was one of the very lucky few who were given golden tickets guaranteeing automatic entry to exhibit as part of the exhibition.
Its an incredible show and it runs until 3rd Nov ..read more

Yesterday was the last in a series of workshops I undertook in collaboration with Art Historian Jean Ryan in Dublin Castle. The sessions organised by Temple Bar Cultural Trust and Dublin Castle ran over the summer.

I especially love my own bed. The crisp white sheets, plump duvet and it's feeling of security. Like most other people I take it for granted.

You're welcome to try sleeping on it ..read more

The buildings, behind the hoarding, are now derelict but they once stood four stories high with large granite steps up to the doorways. This image is from the 1930's. The Gibney's were one of many families that once lived there. Chapelizod is the oldest village in Dublin ..read more

A collaboration with U2’s Adam Clayton for The Elephant In The Room Movement.
"The effects of war and climate change on population displacement are embodied in this artwork, with rising sea levels and the loss of plant and wildlife, including the habitat of the elephant itself. “
The artwork raises awareness about the urgent need for action on war, climate change, and their impact on our world and our mental health ..read more

I’m really proud of this association with Fierce Nice - a gallery I've long admired. We’ve been working on this for a while, to get just the right images at the best quality possible. Fierce Nice have created a wonderful (very cool!) online platform with a beautifully curated portfolio of artists and it’s just what I’ve been waiting for. All my editions are strictly limited and each print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, just especially for you collectors out there. Digitisation was created by the incredible Copperhouse Gallery with the only Cruse Scanner of its type in Ireland ..read more
