BIOGRAPHY

John Cullen is an artist based in Co. Wexford. He qualified with a degree in Fine Art from NCAD in 1988. Since then, he has been practicing as a painter and photographer. He has been involved in community-based art projects, has worked on commissions and has been involved in curating painting exhibitions. His practice focuses on creating images that attempt to transform the ordinary in an effort to question the meanings that we perceive as given or normal. Meaning is fluid and can change in time and place. Objects convey meanings that can be easily read on one level but can also contain hidden meanings, which can be altered by an action, by time or an event. The work evolves from within this labyrinth of references and layers of signifiers.
