I was chosen to be the Artist in Residence for Tiger Dublin Fringe in mid September 2016. I attended 5 separate shows and had to come up with a piece of work for each one. It was challenging but also very fun! The shows varied from the full on theatrical with acrobatics, song, dance, with some very moving poetry to some more subdued musical gigs. Above are the pieces for Shit Robot and Forests, Rusangano Family and Grandbrothers. RIOT and Hot Brown Honeys were the other 2 shows. There's also a few videos of me at work on the Tiger Beer Facebook page if you can find them!James Kirwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15790909118889702003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842153722388885294.post-48576958388715130892016-08-20T04:40:00.000-07:002016-08-20T04:40:18.861-07:00Neighbourhood Watch <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWxXkSGJZxoi36BUq6JzK5ch4jGQGXLCUIys0UzTCdHvSB0SF90MZPLXCzBwvAI-9uXNGAqWyl3pzM2ZQdD1RPlGDI91ssX2dHyQbhgiwOmvweUHgUaHDeEyolW2cD1UonEopoFGNu0CrT/s1600/Neighbourhood+watch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWxXkSGJZxoi36BUq6JzK5ch4jGQGXLCUIys0UzTCdHvSB0SF90MZPLXCzBwvAI-9uXNGAqWyl3pzM2ZQdD1RPlGDI91ssX2dHyQbhgiwOmvweUHgUaHDeEyolW2cD1UonEopoFGNu0CrT/s400/Neighbourhood+watch.jpg" width="395" height="400" /></a></div>

During my time there I made other works - paintings of houses, drawings and graffiti on the streets but these by far are the most personal. The overall experience was amazing and beneficial on many levels but it was also tough at points as I hit some serious lows. These pieces were hugely therapeutic during those times and I am very proud of them

Some recent pieces, Communication Unit V2.5 and V3.3. Ì made these during my last days in my studio in Westport, Ireland. I am now 2 weeks in Porto, Portugal in an art residency with 3 other artists. I have no strict plan for work here, I'm still exploring the city and getting inspiration from it. I'm starting to collect found objects and will hopefully be making new pieces from them, stay tuned!James Kirwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15790909118889702003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842153722388885294.post-10516702391402069362016-01-19T08:22:00.000-08:002016-01-19T08:22:25.499-08:00Communication Unit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAEC9XRQqi2zDkr5GbGIbVZ-Ala0pU93yNDmduz0DrGJw9-ZWleS6j0zSIi0zegA5hHNpkHL7c06auNeX3tXfJXqXynp0TLFwJMgoOc3BxtfiCebHH4xaVWPPUXUZwVVL_znrNidWnet6/s1600/IMG_0613.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAEC9XRQqi2zDkr5GbGIbVZ-Ala0pU93yNDmduz0DrGJw9-ZWleS6j0zSIi0zegA5hHNpkHL7c06auNeX3tXfJXqXynp0TLFwJMgoOc3BxtfiCebHH4xaVWPPUXUZwVVL_znrNidWnet6/s400/IMG_0613.JPG" /></a></div>

'Lesotho' I gave this painting to my parents for Christmas. We spent a few years living in Lesotho in the early/mid eighties. This is an example of a rondavel house, they are usually made from materials found in the local area. I also became obsessed with swifts last summer and learned a lot about them, amazing birds. Happy New Year everyone and thanks for all the support in 2015 :)James Kirwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15790909118889702003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842153722388885294.post-48776536132752024242016-01-08T08:21:00.000-08:002016-01-08T08:21:18.395-08:00These places...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDgoir1fj-bu7WaZ1FuZoUG9JR7JHsF-4cXiBMwXNbp5WFx9Aaz15fErfGoEKii8bmEYG1ODmv_i4AHAz-e4qk4dBXpopVXbarQZR7w5jR00dedUyHijIimfq7qMd2vxOmbo9KatOQVPa/s1600/beyond+small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDgoir1fj-bu7WaZ1FuZoUG9JR7JHsF-4cXiBMwXNbp5WFx9Aaz15fErfGoEKii8bmEYG1ODmv_i4AHAz-e4qk4dBXpopVXbarQZR7w5jR00dedUyHijIimfq7qMd2vxOmbo9KatOQVPa/s400/beyond+small.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcradY2HMdn5s8uchbmxhLZ-ZmjiAQuvXpHuWr9JxkTtOQDzEPdUjW5jdV-a8EF961F7qNHUIsWTWL2ZibDrh_MHpHDSemdyv41rGgdpvfltMMhmpBm_7EkeSEIIKhb_0uyN1JPMiwzW1o/s1600/This+place+small+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcradY2HMdn5s8uchbmxhLZ-ZmjiAQuvXpHuWr9JxkTtOQDzEPdUjW5jdV-a8EF961F7qNHUIsWTWL2ZibDrh_MHpHDSemdyv41rGgdpvfltMMhmpBm_7EkeSEIIKhb_0uyN1JPMiwzW1o/s400/This+place+small+2.jpg" /></a></div>
