Dublinski
By Catherine Ryan – View Artist’s Profile
This dramatic metamorphosis of my hometown needed documentation as the world had finally arrived to Ireland. This is the first painting upon which small objects were added, creating texture and points of interest. Steady green lines of the dart cut across the composition, as the city buzzes and whirrs into action. Many intricate lines, layers and computer hieroglyphs express the complexity and inter-dependency of urban life.
Description
‘Dublinski’ is my tribute to the fair city of Dublin. The title is a nickname invented by friends with a fresh perspective. Made in 2007 at the peak of the property boom in Ireland, when cranes dominated the skyline and shiny new glass and mirrored structures mushroomed up alongside grand old Georgian buildings.
