Aaron Smyth is a Dublin based visual artist and printmaker currently in his final year of a BA hons Degree in Fine Art Printmaking in the National College of Art and Design. My work explores Relations, Difficulty, Emotion and Gender. I am currently exploring the dynamics and dualities of an intimate relationship, depicting figurative interactions which move from real to emotional/psychological landscapes all of which are designed to create ambiguous narratives for the audience to explore and respond to.
