Paul Mosse: The Materialist
Highly inventive and idiosyncratic with his materials, Paul Mosse is inspired by the energy, growth, and seeming chaos of natural world around him. Using a variety of mixed-media, including non-traditional materials (plastic pellets, polystyrene, sawdust, nails and screws) as well as paper, paint and wood, he manipulates and builds complex surfaces on his paintings and sculptures. Mosse was born in Co. Kilkenny where he lives and works today. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and was elected to Aosdána in 2008. The exhibition was introduced by renowned gallerist Catherine Hammond, and a video of their conversation can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC9LLvx_bgI

'It is so distressing to see the levels of violence and aggression in the world. It is particularly shocking to witness the hypocrisy of those who advocate for peace on one hand while making billions from the sale of arms and weapons on the other. We hope that art can be a catalyst for change and advocate for the peaceful transformations that the world needs.'
Lisa Fingleton is an artist, writer and grower who has spent over twenty years cultivating deep-rooted connections between art, food, nature and peace. She is the embedded artist with the Creative Climate Action Project Brilliant Ballybunion and is also the Kerry Visual Artist in Residence with Kerry County Council Arts Office.
