PAUL HICKEY

Artist Statement

I am inspired primarily by the phenomenon of colour and the dynamic and fluid relationships, which result from infinite combinations. The creation of visual pleasure is a very important element in my work. Attempting a balance between control and chance, I use bold industrial colours, which are often pre-fabricated, in order to achieve a democratic approach towards hue. The work explores colour’s autonomous nature, its effect on our surroundings and its influence on the way we behave.

I want my work to have a direct dialogue with its immediate environment as it is often directly defined by the limits of the specific spaces and places it inhabits.
