Maeve Brennan is a painter working in oils.
Her work is detail oriented, precise and time consuming. It is realist and utilises photography as source material. It moves between the current and the past making connections between both, often merging these via multiple images of the same object or place.
She is interested in the symbolism of the seemingly mundane, the everyday in objects and spaces, and the emotions they provoke. Light plays an integral role, particularly in my interior paintings. Feelings of vulnerability, fragility and sentimentality are her typical starting points which can provoke a sense of painful nostalgia.
The resulting work strives to draw attention to the details of the human condition, and to catalogue a sense of her own place in the world.
