I have 2 paintings on show in the Soul Noir Festival of the Dark Arts in Dublin this week. The Gothic and macabre themed festival is curated by friend and artist Sinéad Keogh and is running at the Chocolate Factory Arts Centre. It’s the second year of the festival being run, last year it was held in an old Georgian house in Dublin 1, I was delighted last year to receive The Best Emerging Artist Award during the 2017 festival.

I was up today to install the work and the exhibition looks great again this year and the space works really well too, there are a lot of artists working in different media so I have a link to the Soul Noir website here for more information and the festival Facebook page and Twitter can be found by clicking on each one.
