Tony O’Loughlin
Tony O’ Loughlin’s collection of drawings and screen prints are dialectical observations, sometimes social and sometimes environmental but always thought provoking. His strong social conscious gives a sincerity readily observed in the work. In his silkscreen prints he uses striking organic patterns of human and animals abstractions as a metaphor for challenging the norm, with harmonic conclusions. His organic patterns are often a metaphor for conflict with the conscious. In his screen prints these patterns are clearly seen in conjunction with everyday objects.

Tony’s work observes our environmental negativity to create visual harmonic patterns as a co-existence and not conflict. Man scratches the earth for temporal gain and it is through his everyday man-made objects combined with organic patterns, he creates a metaphor to different stimuli. In his drawings and more recently through his silkscreen prints, Tony merges these entities as a conclusion and response to this insouciance.
