A selling exhibition featuring 4 upcoming artists and their approach to working in the capital.

Lee Marshall

Lee Marshall was born in 1981 in Berkshire and was raised in Grantham, Lincolnshire. He studied Fine Art at Lancaster University and MA Fine Art at Duncan & Jordanstone College of Art, University of Dundee where he specialised in conceptual installations based around the theme of isolation. He has exhibited at the DCA (Dundee Contemporary Arts) Visual Research Centre and Generator Projects, Dundee.

Marshall uses shared environments and flights of fancy to create work that resonates with the frustrated cynic in all of us. Humour and tragedy play an important part in his work and often disguise the darker truth behind the images.

Maria Kjartansdottir

An M.F.A. graduate from Glasgow School of Art (2007) and a Scottish Student Press Awards nominee has, despite of her young age, done numerous international exhibitions as well as being a photographer and art director with various music and dance groups. Kjartansdottir’s recent exhibitions include; Nordisk moods, Arken Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen; Snap to grid, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art and Slideluck Potshow, SNAP productions, London.

Nicky Larkin

Nicky Larkin was born in Ireland in 1983.  He studied Fine Art at Galway Art College and Chelsea College of Art, London.  His work is located somewhere in the crossover between video-art, documentary and experimental film.

He has exhibited widely across Ireland and the UK with video installations and sound-pieces.  In 2007 he travelled to the Chernobyl exclusion zone where he shot the experimental short, Pripyat, which has been screened as part of The European Media Art Festival 2008, in Osnabruck, Germany.  He has a solo show in The Belltable Arts Centre, Limerick, in October.

Paul King

Paul King studied fine Art at University of Ulster in Belfast and Duncan & Jordanstone College of Art, University of Dundee. He has exhibited in numerous locations in Ireland, Scotland and China. King’s work lies where the tragic and the comic meet, and contained within this art-theatre-playground are the elements of failure, alienation, frustration, aggression, and the absurd.
