Mickey Egan, Greenhill & Pearce
"Art making interests me from an aesthetic, historic and chronological point of view. It’s a visual and personal form of language, that I use to explore my observations and notions of broken narrative.
These drawings and paintings are an attempt to record natural phenomena and re-imagined deconstructed forms.
The work is informed by experience, occurrences and encounters past and present, a progressive result of drawing, either “en plein air” or later from memory and imagination.
My work is created using a process of paint layering or mark making. During this process or making, surface builds, reveals and develops; texture, dimension, opacity and lightness.
These consequential constructions, records and incidents develop over many months of practice compiling arrangements, mistakes and improvisation."
