Patrick Molloy, Scenographer and Visual Artist living in Blackrock, County Dublin. He is a graduate of the National College of Art & Design and of the University of Limerick. Patrick works across the mediums of painting, printmaking, rug-art and 3D visual interpretations of the written word for performance.
Following on a career in Scenographic design for stage and screen, I am currently investigating the optical effects and applied textures, tones and colours, I document samples of observed industrial graffiti in the city and suburban landscape; in particular the intervention on roads and pavements of utilitarian mark-making; industrial graffiti.
For this series, I have chosen the square format of presentation and through applying oils or acrylics or more recently working with wool rug-art, I abstract the textures and layers of perceived depth underlying the found utilitarian graphic / calligraphic mark-making interventions. Each work is augmented on the reverse with title and notation of the observed original location for the stimulus for the process, and with a set of Cartesian coordinates (latitude and longitude) by which the viewer can locate the observed original location should they wish to do so, for further investigation.
