Art

In his photographic work, Belfast-born Paul Seawright takes an approach that is both brash and oblique. That is, his large-format prints are very much in-your-face. Their focus is however not the centre of the action but details we might otherwise overlook. His Sectarian Murders Series revisited the sites of sectarian murders many years after the crimes had been committed. His most recent work, on view at the Kerlin Gallery from Friday next, is a study of the strange no-man's-land spaces we have created on the edges of cities throughout Europe, strange, inhospitable places he describes as "a generic malevolent landscape."
