Aisling Drennan
b. 1982
My work is a projection of my world which is fuelled by colour, form and the diverse properties of paint. Challenging the properties of paint is the most exciting part for me- dressing it up, stripping it down, manipulating and layering it. My work entertains me and I hope it will entertain the viewer each time one rests their eyes upon it.

Having already had one career as a dancer for ''Riverdance-The Show'', Aisling decided to continue her creative path through the medium of paint and delve into the world of Fine Art.
Aisling's inspiration is derived from the many sights, people and experiences her background has allowed her. The work seductively invites the eye to roam through the canvas, to get lost in its vivid colours and organic shapes.
The paintings appear quite feminine however Aisling physically deconstructs the painted surface by tearing away then paradoxically re-applying sheets of paint.Although the process may seem accidental, the carefully controlled combination of flat areas of colour placed beside structured areas of paint create an engaging experience for the viewer.
