Seconds remaing cartNiall J.Ward- Born in Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh in 1981, I spent a lot of time visiting the West coast of Ireland and painting some of the amazing scenery it has to offer. I moved to Belfast in 2000 to study for a Foundation Certificate of Art and Design and later a Degree in Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Ulster. Influenced by automatist qualities of surrealist and psychedelic artists, I began to paint on large canvases, each named simply with the first word that was invoked when viewing the finished painting, that contain organic forms, thrusting energies, electric, vibrant colours and a use of line that attracts the viewer to gaze at the image. These unfiltered scenes of my subconscious invite the viewer to interpret the work as he or she wishes. I now live in Carlow, in the South of Ireland with my own family, where the work I am currently involved with combines this method of painting, with my interest in landscapes to create art that is noticed for its aesthetics instantly. Again these works, filled with intricate pictorial spaces, allow the viewer their own interpretation but leave a subtle message in their title relating to a journey I have experienced. I anticipate painting different parts of the world. Places where the landscape is completely alien, the earth a different colour and vegetation unfamiliar. It’s a big world out there and I look forward to every new encounter, to provide the viewer with another window into my interior self.
