Neil Dunne
Dublin, Ireland
Neil Dunne, an artist and educator based in Dublin, Ireland, is an alum of The National College of Art and Design, where he earned his BA in 2014 and was awarded the NCAD Postgraduate Scholarship from 2015-2017.
Neil has embarked on a multifaceted exploration at the intersection of art and the urban landscape, drawing inspiration from the profound ideas of Guy Debord and the Situationist International. His work has become a dynamic inquiry into the psychogeography of urban spaces, seeking to unravel the layers of memory, social movements, and sub-cultural tropes embedded within the cityscape.
Neil's artistic techniques embrace modern expanded print practices, such as laser cutting and photography, contributing to the evolution of urban semiotics in his works. The visual language he employs reflects ideologies and materiality that have shaped the urban fabric, borrowing from buffed graffiti, political slogans, and obscure remnants of buildings and objects.
Neil’s contributions extend globally, with exhibitions in Dublin, Hong Kong, and his works being collected by esteemed institutions and private collectors alike.
