5 layer hand-pulled screen print
500 x 500mm / on 285gsm Context Birch paper, edition of 100, signed and numbered by artist.

About the Piece
"Coming from a family of swimmers, I wanted this piece to reflect an up-close perspective of the experience of the Liffey Swim. I asked family members who have completed the swim on a number of occasions about their experiences on the river, and wanted to capture the perspective of the swimmer, immersed in green, passing under Dublin's iconic bridges, all kicking and pulling to become the one to win Dublin's most iconic swimming race.

I tried to rely on the aesthetic qualities and unique process of screen printing for this piece, choosing a green backdrop for vivid white ink and bold blocks of colour to stand out and show the swimmers emerging from the murky Liffey waters."

About the Artist
Conor is an illustrator and print addict, whose tactile work celebrates the aesthetic qualities of screen printing and risograph.

Welcome was the first solo exhibition of work by illustrator and printmaker Conor Nolan. The show is a celebration of the everyday, taking an illustrative approach to documenting some of the people and parts of Dublin that have stood out to Conor over this time.

“If I had to describe Nolan’s work to someone without any images at hand, I’d say it had the whimsy and heart of Quentin Blake, with the graphic and colour sensibilities of Saul Bass and Corita Kent, somehow managing that magic trick of being calming and vibrant at the same time. The artworks walk a tightrope between the past and the present, telling the small stories of life in Dublin through Nolan’s eyes.” Leonie Connellan, for Headstuff.

50X70cm one-colour hand-pulled screen print on 460gsm Sirio Ultra Black paper. Edition of 20. Frame sold separately, available in-store.

About the piece:
Birds? Birds. This bird silhouette is a go-to of mine and I wanted to poke a bit of fun at the fact that I always draw them the same way despite being different birds, which eventually led to this print which plays on visuals of wildlife information posters you might see at beaches or parks around the country.
