Richard Lawlor's practice is carried out through the medium of etching and is based on a mix of photography and film stills. He portrays people who are both renowned and unknown in the public domain, each piece telling a story, often tragic or mysterious. Through their narratives, each person has enjoyed a brief flash of notoriety, thus the work imbues temporality, evoking the fragmentation of reality and our fragility as humans. They engage the viewer, allowing the drama of our existence to creep into the works, provoking thoughts and the urge to discuss our condition and meaning of life. Some of the work is based upon more fantastical film stills from lesser known films which don't necessarily portray the human condition and are outside the realm of reality.
