Statement

Neil Dunne is a Dublin-based artist and educator whose work explores the intersection of art and the urban landscape. Dunne investigates the psychogeography of cities, uncovering layers of memory, social movement, and subcultural identity embedded in the built environment. His research and techniques embrace laser cutting, photography, and contemporary print processes, creating a visual language shaped by urban materiality, political markings, and architectural remnants—contrasted with notions of nature and identity.
