Padraig Timoney
Lulu is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the Irish, New York-based painter, Padraig Timoney (b. 1968).
A moving target who is known to work primarily with painting, but also with photography, sculpture and drawing, Timoney never develops a single, consistent identifiable style. In his protean and idiosyncratic practice, works are liable to assume many shapes and forms, from abstraction to design to figurative painting, in any number of modes. One is always liable, upon entering a Padraig Timoney exhibition, to feel as if one were encountering a group show featuring work by several different artists. But after a careful viewing and a minimum of reflection, connections, themes and concepts begin to magically emerge. As such, Timoney might seem, at least initially, to encourage a forensic approach to art, but such an approach mistakenly implies that his exhibitions can be solved, like a crime or a riddle. The artist’s rigorously intuitive and organic method of exhibition making inevitably precludes such pat and easy outcomes. Operating something like a cartographer of human experience, the complexity with which he maps out life is too rich for simple solutions, even if a certain level of simplicity is never to far from what he does.
