Simplifying the past

Paul Galligan whose exhibition runs at The Helix, DCU until the end of the month.

Artist Paul Galligan's exhibition of 30 oil paintings - Project 30 - created over just four months is currently on display in the Helix, DCU. The exhibition will close on November 30 at 7.30pm with Paul giving a lecture to the DCU alumni. The Celt's Damian McCarney got his questions in with the Cavan town artist ahead of the DCU students.

Anglo-Celt: It must be a big achievement to have your work exhibited in the Helix?

Paul Galligan: It's a good name to have under your belt anyway.

AC: Tell us about your exhibition.

PG: It's a series of 30 paintings. They are all abstract paintings, straight from my head. They are all oil paintings, put on with a knife and they all come from the sediment history of human nature.
