Fintan Whelan

Fintan employs a distinctive method of painting, an alchemical blend of pigments, oils, and various media. This approach, marked by spontaneity and rawness, captures the essence of his creative philosophy. With colours performing a kaleidoscopic dance on his canvases - that imitates the fluid nature of consciousness. The interplay of light and texture emerges as a signature element in his work. Through this nuanced exploration, he seeks not to imitate nature but to draw inspiration from it, creating a bridge between the familiar and the novel in his artistic expression.

Abstraction takes centre stage in the artist's oeuvre, providing a canvas for non- figurative exploration. Yet, he challenges the traditional notion of abstraction, viewing it not as a label but as an inherent part of every artistic process. His abstract artworks, rich in emotional depth and intellectual resonance, invite viewers on a journey into the unknown, echoing Mark Rothko's assertion that "a painting is not a picture of an experience but is the experience."

Lou-ann Albiol-Ducos (ALMINE RECH GALLERY): "The artworks presented by Fintan are a stunning exploration of colour, fluid shapes, and intricate texture. The artist’s use of a dynamic colour palette—ranging from vivid blues and greens to warm reds and oranges—creates striking contrasts that pull the viewer in. The abstract shapes seem to flow organically, suggesting movement and depth, giving the impression of suspended fluidity. The texture in these pieces appears smooth yet multi-layered, implying a complex interplay of mediums. Fintan's greatest strength lies in his ability to evoke emotion through fluid forms and captivating colour dynamics. My favorite piece, 'Natural Rhapsody', exemplifies this beautifully. The soft blend of muted purples, yellows, and earthy tones creates a mesmerising, dreamlike quality. The shapes seem to flow effortlessly across the canvas, capturing movement and organic elegance. This piece showcases the artist's remarkable control over texture and composition, bringing both harmony and complexity to the forefront. It embodies the unique visual language that defines the entire portfolio—bold, expressive, and deeply evocative."
