Francis O’ShaughnessyDescription
Francis O’Shaughnessy focuses his research on the construction of the audacity to live in his vision of the portrait in the landscape and the portrait of the landscape. He attempts to create dialogues between performance Art and photography by orchestrating stagings that have their origins in the World of visual installations. He creates scenographic spaces that evoke fictions enveloped by nature. His constantly (re)questioning body of work speaks about humans: their loves, their dreams, their nonsense and their quest for meaning. He introduces suggestions into his work that recall his identity mix without his conceptual and experimental representations being limited only to his cultural diversity. Lately, he has been looking at the inner landscapes and the passage of time that shape who we are. Thus, he attempts to interpret the infinite facets that make up the human soul by paying particular attention to the sphere of ritual, intimacy and adoptive identity.Try it!
