Patrick Ireland re-works Caravaggio’s religious paintings to explore his own ideas around faith and belief
Ireland began this project as a means to explore how Christianity has formed the foundation and psycho-geography of our society, shaping our perceptions of morality, spirituality, and even aesthetics. However, during and due to the physicality of the creative process, he realised the work evolved to become an exploration of his artistic self-belief, and the consequences of faith.
Ireland’s large scale wood blocks are created using a jigsaw power tool to cut and draw the figures into the wood, resulting in the distinctive aesthetic we see in his prints. The prints are hand-printed, without the use of a printing press, this adds a layer of physicality to an already demanding process.
Patrick Ireland studied Printmaking at Limerick School of Art and Design and completed an MFA in Contemporary Fine Art at Edinburgh University in 2014.
