SEAMUS KILLICK PRINTS
Our 2019 Joan Charnley Bursary artist Seamus Killick returns with a brand new collection of work. After graduating from Edinburgh School of Art, Seamus was invited to the Pilotenkueche International Residency in Leipzig where he created this amazing collection of abstract paintings, now available as Giclée art prints, exclusive to the Weavers Factory.
“Throughout my year in Germany I developed work at various residencies across Leipzig, a city which continues to inspire me in a multitude of ways. Whilst continuing to paint, I became curious about the city’s various DIY spaces and their potential for installation and performance. Whilst using painting, drawing and collage to explore ideas around adolescence, identity and advertising I began working with other artists and musicians to embody physical space and experience. It was a really pivotal point in my practice where I began to push the themes of my painting off the paper and into environments, engaging the senses and immersing people in a surreal and artificial world. ”
