Introduction to Artist.
Rory Perrott is a graduate of Limerick School of Art and Design, Limerick, Ireland and of Crawford College of Art, Cork, Ireland.
Since graduating from university in 2001 Rory has been exhibiting his work in group and solo exhibitions in Ireland, the U.S.A and very recently China. As well as working as an artist over the last decade Rory has also worked in furniture design, graphic and media design and also as an artist in the Irish film industry.
This exhibition is Rory's second China exhibition having recently exhibited in Shanghai as part of Ireland Week. Ireland Week is a festival of Irish cultural events which finishes on St.Patrick's Day, Ireland's national day of celebration which is known all over the world.
Rory has been working in his home studio on Yinzhou, Ningbo since March of 2011 and the paintings here represent the many interests that
have inspired the artist over the course of the year. This exhibition comprises of a selection of oil paintings and mixed media works. Some of the chosen subjects are based on scenes here in Ningbo and some are are scenes from the artist's home country. The choice of title for this exhibition describes not only the subject matter but also a much broader theme, that being the physical nature of the paint, painting materials and the painting process. All these elements are deliberately visible to different extents in a process which is designed to engage the viewer in a visual and conscious
manner
