@aisling_drennan


Aisling Drennan is a contemporary abstract painter whose work is rooted in the material curiosities and playfulness of oil paint. She has a MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins.

Currently, her painting practice is concerned with stone wall formations, drawn to their heaviness of form yet lightness of appearance. Studies of stone walls are abstracted and etched into layers of paintwork- constructed, deconstructed, scratched, rubbed and finally reapplied to form a new skin and begin the process over; a method of finding and losing the painting until visually robust.

Aisling’s practice is influenced by the American Abstract Expressionist movement and her experience as a former professional Irish dancer with Riverdance.  Artists such as Joan Mitchel, Sean Scully and Willem de Kooning have informed her development arriving at its current balance between chaos and structure.
