DAMIEN MCGINLEY: Born in Ireland, Damien studied in Coventry and Bristol, before going on to exhibit internationally in countries including Belgium, Germany and France. Combining oil paint and collage, he says his urban realism mixed media works are inspired by “the stuff that binds us”. Having been painting and exhibiting professionally for over 20 years, he counts the Culture Ireland Exhibitions Award and English Arts Council Exhibitions award amongst his accolades to date. Damien has refned his work over recent years, aiming to look more intently at the dialogue and relationship between humans and the persistent urban realism that envelops them. Damien says: “As each component is propelled to component, they begin to influence one another. Hard edges with concrete, architecture, man and machine merge into blended essences. Constantly changing associations are inevitably released in these environments, and the observer is gradually pulled into the process of continuous transformation, in a melting pot of man, modernity, and dynamics.”
