About the Artist

David O’Kane is an Irish artist whose practice across the mediums of painting, photography, animation, movie, and drawing. The epic and dreamy paintings drawn with realistic techniques represent him. He describes dream-like and far-fetched situation from reality. At the same time, the static painting, like a stuffed moment or an ended microcosm, acts as a mediator representing the momentary stories and situations in the work by being given the dynamic role like a frame in a movie. He rearranges characters in mysterious atmosphere with historical backgrounds, taking viewers to his own narrative.
