Brian Fay
Brian Fay is an Irish artist living in Dublin. He uses drawing to present different models of temporality and history responding to pre-existing artefacts and artworks to examine our own complex relationship to time and ideas of permanence. He recently completed the touring survey show The Most Recent Forever which opened in the Highlanes Gallery, Drogheda then to Limerick City Gallery of Art and Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre, Ireland. Recent group shows include An Artist’s Presence, National Gallery of Ireland, Stories of Art, Lewis Glucksman Gallery, Cork, J+1, Jarmuschek + Partner, Berlin and Drawing Room, Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, Ireland.
Fay’s drawings employ a range of representational strategies to record, depict, and re-present models of permanence and temporality through engagement with pre-existing artefacts, objects, and artworks. For Fay, the pre-existing work has a complex, non-linear relationship to time. It operates simultaneously across multiple temporal registers: the historical moment of its making, the time of its reprographic translation, the temporal space depicted within the image, and, more recently, the biographical time of the artist’s encounter with it.
