The Artist
Born in Dublin in 1969, Eamonn Doyle returned to photography in 2008 after spending his early career in the music business. His debut photobook i was self-published in March 2014 and he has since created two more photobooks titled ON and END. making up a trilogy of projects exploring the artist’s native Dublin with varying stylistic techniques. His photographs are taken at close range in and around the multi-cultural, working class of North Dublin’s Parnell Street where the artist has long been a resident. With his latest series “K” he moves away from the urban east coast to the western Atlantic edge of Ireland, to a landscape that in places appears out of time, a parallel world untouched by human presence. Through the intense colour images of K, we follow a figure that shapeshifts as it travels across this landscape. Entirely veiled in cloth, the figure is spectral, changing in colour and materiality as it is pushed and pulled by gravity, wind, water and light.

Unlike many of today’s photographers constantly searching for the exotic and unknown, Doyle has instead chosen to draw from the wealth of photographic subjects on his doorstep. His timeless characters provide a meditation on the act of photography itself, of fleeting encounters captured, a transient moment immortalized.
