Seán Kissane, Curator of Exhibitions at IMMA reviews the recent Zolo Press monograph, Fergus Feehily, 2023.
“Fergus Feehily (born 1968, Dublin), makes art through constant experimentation. He challenges conventional notions of what a painting or installation might be, with materials that often include scraps of wallpaper or fabric, using erratic brushstrokes. This artist’s book holds roughly fifteen years of Feehily’s practice. It is reticent about explaining the work. The three essays included are not quite an afterthought, but they only occupy 7 pages out of 230, emphasising how this is a book about images, not words.”
