Paul Roy

Paul Roy is a visual artist originally from Dublin, now living in Westmeath. He Received a first-class honours MA in Art in the Contemporary World in 2020, and has a background in painting, printmaking and animation. His current work reflects on how the onset of serious illness can impact upon an arts practice, altering both the subject matter and the physical approach to the processes of making art. This includes how his own personal experience of long-term ill health has informed every aspect of my creative process.

Ten monoprints that incorporate hand written text as their means of communicating their subject. The process engenders them with a loose and soft line quality and a relaxed aspect to their overall appearance, wherein it is often possible to see the results of the actions of the artist's hands directly within the image.
