Seán Hillen – about the artist
The thing that is very noticeable in my work is the desire and need to fix the world. I always felt that the world is completely wrong and that it was kind of obvious to me that it was my job to fix it by cutting a couple of bits of paper.

“Multiple boundaries that are kind of transgressed in the picture. Space meets the sky, meets the mountains, meets the sea, meets the land and loops around again. You’re in the middle of them all at once.” – Seán Hillen, Murmur Magazine, 2016
Troubles
Sean’s images, are raw, they are capturing an emotional response. He explained to me at one point, that he was given a choice of either a gun or a camera and he choose the camera.

What’s Wrong
“The new body of work uses images from the 9/11 atrocities, major Irish literary figures and scantily clad beauties to create a picture of a new paradigm, one where nothing seems to be reliable or certain. In these extraordinary times in the Irish State, it is the intelligence of the critical eye that makes the difference. Seán Hillen has not lost his touch.”
