Niall MacCrann
£0.00
Niall’s printmaking floats around themes such as contactless living and our relationships with our bodies. He begins with observational drawing/painting, often in streets or eateries, or in the life drawing studio. These serve as source material for larger works that explore immersion in urban and imagined surroundings. He wipes, scratches, scours, burnishes dabs and splatters in monoprint, etching and drypoint, aiming to produce images of the body that shout that they've been produced by a human. His work often features protagonists that respond to the demands of dating and food delivery apps. For RB Kitaj the figure was “like beacons of where art has been and of a newer art life to come”; the beacons in Paula Rego, Lisa Brice, Edgar Degas (especially monotypess) and Ana Maria Pacheco (especially drypoints) influence his work greatly.
