About this event
Painter / Painter is an exhibition and performance by Paddy Critchley. In this exhibition, Paddy reflects on recent explorations within his work. This exhibition brings together work that reacts to his lived experience of contemporary folk culture in Ireland, along with references to his work as a painter and decorator. Paddy’s paintings work as a body, each one in dialogue with another. From portraits of friends and flowers to words and meditations, Paddy uses paint as his way of understanding the world. Paddy’s love of Irish ballads and songs, especially the work of Brendan and Dominic Behan, underpins the work in this exhibition.
