Paul Pattison (b.1976) is an Irish Artist working in printmaking and painting.
This is Pattison’s second solo show. The exhibition follows a narrative of sombre beginnings, and draws from the artist’s own experiences of dealing with the often stigmatised realities associated with epilepsy and mental illness. Isolation, fear and the unknown are presented through a series of striking black lino prints. The artist then presents a series of colourful paintings which counter balance the previous stark printing techniques, highlighting a warmer resolve and an alternative attitude to healing.
