Ep 2: The See Through Podcast - Carl Hickey
Artist Carl Hickey joins us on our second episode of the podcast to discuss his work and inspiration, thriving in chaos, and why you should never put black in a painting.
As if captured from a height, or from a safe distance shrouded from view, Carl Hickey’s painted compositions depict figures in various states of preoccupation. Piecing together a story from the visual elements, his characters may be engaging in seemingly mundane activities -- operating machinery or absconding from view across a grassy common, they remain oblivious to their painted commemoration by the artist. Often working from videos recorded on his phone of bizarre occurrences around the city or his home, his paintings are fleeting glimpses into a Dublin which is in turns humorous and touching.
