ABOUT

Eoin (pronounced 'Owen') is a visual artist originally from and currently based in Ireland but more often than not has spent his time on the road. Having studied and completed university in the UK in Fine Art Sculpture, he briefly worked in 3 dimensions before making the move over to painting full time. This move saw Eoin painting on small canvas, which increased in size with time until the scale was no longer holding his interest. At this point Eoin looked for the next step needed to progress his work and one night moved outside to paint in an old abandoned building site near where he was living. Working on this scale opened up a whole new way of painting and looking at the world around him.

Having dabbled in graffiti in the mid 90's, this move to painting outdoors on walls felt somewhat natural and welcomed. In the years following (2011-16) Eoin restlessly painted hundreds of murals around the world at various events, commissions, and personal projects engaging communities, organisations, and individuals across 4 continents and countless countries.

Although his studio work slowly continued during these years, it took a back foot to allow the time and space to travel and complete his outdoor work. During 2016-2019 Eoin slowed his outdoor projects and shifted his focus back to developing, understanding and producing his canvas work again. This shift in focus brought the relationship between his outdoor and studio work closer together with a new refreshed insight into the work he has created. These years saw Eoin produce a number of solo shows ‘Moments’, 'Sea and Sky' and ‘The Opening 6.0’.

From 2020, with the onset of the global pandemic and access to travel limited, along with the acceleration of the digital space and adoption of Blockchain technology, Eoin set focus to exploring this exciting new realm. Producing work which brought elements of his love of traditional film photography into a mixing pot with future technologies such as VR, AR, geo-location, rendered scenes and Blockchain.

2023 onward - This year will see further, deeper development into his use of Blockchain technology to create a very pure form of digital art at its core. This will coincide with a new, multi-faceted, body of paintings and prints for which he aims to exhibit in the near future.
