Tony O’ Loughlin’s collection, Gestalt Lines, of drawings and screen prints, are dialectical observations, sometimes social and sometimes environmental but always thought-provoking. 

 Being a member of Limerick Printmakers and accessing its professional facilities has allowed Tony the opportunity to both explore his love of and expand his innate skill in silkscreen printmaking. His graphic knowledge developed both during his time in LSAD and as a professional designer for many years, combined with the hands-on process of silkscreen printing facilitates his enjoyment and ability in creating detailed and complex work. 
Using the process of silkscreen, with its unique colour quality, he produces hand pulled limited editions by abstracting personal thought and social realities, as another outlet for his narrative.

Tony spoke about Gestalt Lines saying “My work observes our environmental negativity to create visual harmonic patterns as a co-existence and not conflict. A man scratches the earth for temporal gain and it is through his everyday man-made objects combined with organic patterns, I create a metaphor for different stimuli. In my drawings and more recently through my silkscreen prints, I merge these entities as a conclusion and response to this insouciance.”

With no money, no job, and no fixed address, she drifts from one encounter to another, taking advantage of any opportunity that presents itself.
