LIAM MARC O'CONNORI make figurative paintings with a concentration on the portrait.The starting point of my work is primarily film. The films are made with minimal amount of intrusion and staging, although there is a degree of acting by the sitter when creating the source material. My paintings are then based on images taken from these films. More recently I have been using glass and ice which alows me to split the picture into layers and although techniques differ greatly in my work, the motives are the same. |
