The Virtual exhibition is now live

This online showcase will feature my latest body of work, as well as a selection of abstract pieces.

In his exploration of Ireland's past traumas and the concept of the collective unconscious, Carey delves into personal themes, especially as his daughter prepared to leave the country. This introspective journey led to an awareness that feelings of loss and loneliness are universal.

Isolation is a prominent theme in Carey's current work. His figures, crafted with the broken, rough textures of plaster, symbolize the universal fractures we all experience at various points in our lives. They embody the yearning to feel whole and to belong, reminiscent of the time before grief touched our lives.

Carey's abstract works emerge from an intuitive and physical process. The vigorous application of paint, the building of textures, and the intense interaction with the canvas result in works that, despite their tumultuous creation, exude a profound sense of calm.

We invite you to experience this enriching journey both in person and online, celebrating the artistry and profound messages conveyed through these exceptional works.
