Coerce - Solo Exhibition by Clive Moloney

Clive Moloney’s current body of work deals with the concept of control. He illustrates this concept through the process of mould making and casting and attempting to dismantle or blur the boundaries between the mould and cast. Traditionally the mould and cast are seen as two separate entities, the mould being used to create the cast and then discarded. The process is conventionally used to replicate an object that already exists.

Moloney chooses to build his own moulds from plastic, wood, rubber bands and stone and often displayed them as an element of the finished work. The process plays with the mould and cast, creating a grey area in between. The artist uses plaster and sugar syrup as his casting materials.

The very structured, controlled, geometric shapes are allowed to spill into more abstract, organic forms. The artist’s attempts to control and coerce his materials (and their subsequent form) are in constant struggle with a willingness to let go and allow the materials to create their own forms.

John Beattie

                                           

                                                  

Beattie is an Irish artist currently living and working in Dublin and based at Irish Museum of Modern Art. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally, most notably at Goethe Institute and the RHA in Dublin and Musee Bonnat, France. Beattie earned his BA from NCAD in 2003 and MFA from University of Ulster in 2005.

Beattie's practice attempts to create a discourse between academic classical traditions and contemporary practice. Through process-based and context-specific methodologies, his work is concerned with methods of production and representation. Employing the use of drawing, video, sculpture and photography, his interest lies in how the viewer engages with or unravels the creative process
