Biography
Niall Cullen is a contemporary visual artist with a first class honours degree in sculpture from the National College of Art and Design. His work investigates themes around identity, public space, mark making, re-appropriation of data and imagery while he also explores a collaborative practice with other artists, relevant acquaintances, familiars and the public.
Cullen’s approach to visual art utilises materials, ethics and space in a manner which is informed by his ongoing relationship/ research based on subcultures that interact with urban environments. His multidisciplinary practice works with video, painting and performance to construct abstract narratives between his personal history and his ongoing research.
