I Will Follow You Into The Dark | Paul McGrane at Rua Red

Paul McGrane (b.1991, Dublin) is an artist & curator working in Dublin, Ireland.

McGrane's interests lie in public spaces such as places of worship, stadiums and sensory rooms. McGrane takes inspiration from how such areas are designed to channel certain auras or energy. Nostalgia and emotion also guide the creation of the work, as McGrane draws from personal memories of family and places he spent time in while growing up. Although the work is secular, it often references religion and spirituality- his sculptures take visual cues from Christian and mythic art, stained glass influences the colour of his paintings, and repeated physical movements while making the work can take on a meditative quality.
