Darragh Powell
Degree:
Fine Art/ Set Design
University:
Croydon College/ School of Fine Art, France
Graduation Year:
2005/2009
Using paints, inks and various other media, Darragh creates images in which the audience find themselves immersed in a place where nature seems to have the upper hand whilst man is often visible only by the imprint he has left behind. He is interested in man's relationship with the often paradoxically powerful yet fragile natural world and the beauty that can be found in the most unlikely of places.
Darragh is as much inspired by cinema, music, literature and his surroundings as he is by painting and other artists, possibly even more so. Continuing on from his BA Degree in which he worked with photo & video and his Master's where he combined painting and video to create installations, the artist sees his paintings as movie stills, cinematic snapshots of what may be real, of what may have been, of what may become.
