Fion Gunn
Irish artist Fion Gunn delves into the human experience in her work. With a portfolio that ranges from mixed media painting, to sculpture and installation, Fion’s art is a vast exploration of existence across time, subject and medium. Fion incorporates landscapes, urban motifs, figures and surrealist elements into her work, and in doing so the artist weaves continuous narratives that comment on so many different aspects of the human condition. Looking at both the past and the future, Fion seeks to create art that is inclusive and far-reaching, speaking to people from all walks of life.
