Description
About artist: Seán Molloy is a Dublin-based fine art painter. His work to-date explores connections between baroque-inspired imagery and visual mediation in an increasingly digitised world, and how these intersect to unearth a sense of nostalgia, displacement and haunting. He received a 1st class BA in fine art painting (NCAD, 2011), followed by an MFA (NCAD, 2013).
About artwork: This work is based on a photograph by 19th century photographer Louis Jean Baptiste Igout a contemporary of Eadweard Muybridge. In an attempt to contemporize the nude figure I added body art to the nude figure. The carefully placed glitch-like elements are a playful attempt at creating a certain ambivalence surrounding the subject of gender identity and the often unintentional comical result of attempts to censor images of the nude figure.
