PATRICK REDMOND
Born in 1976 in Dublin, Patrick Redmond lives and works in Co. Wexford. For over 15 years he was represented by Molesworth Gallery Dublin, having multiple solo exhibitions at the gallery. During that formative period Redmond used traditional modes of representation to create figurative paintings that have the potential to embody a multiplicity of interpretations. In 2018, after a year-long residency at Gorey School of Art, Redmond transformed his painting practice to incorporate new modes of art-making, encompassing painting, drawing and print on plaster. This body of work, entitled “All Possible Worlds”, would be followed by the solo exhibition “Making New Worlds” at the Ashford Gallery (RHA) in 2020. Combining his skill and craft for image-making with an inherent critique of the market forces and administrational agents that dictate the career path of the artist, Redmond’s work continues to question the act and agency of art-making with blunt tools and black humour.
