Karina Abdul
Karina’s work is about form and its relation to the human body. She create vessels which visually continue the shapes of our body, fitting in the negative space around it. The lines of the body define the shapes of the vessels, creating that intimacy between two forms, where the vessel is for the body and the body is for the vessel. For Karina, she says that the moment of touch has become the major concept in her current work.

Daniel O’ Brien
Daniel O’Brien is a visual artist whose work is informed by his passion for experimental music and Irish and American painters of the 20th century. His musical and visual experience of cork, what he hears and sees as he exists in the city, shape his paintings as they build layer by layer.

A third year animation student, he was encouraged to realise a long held ambition to paint while attending an exhibition of american abstract painting at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Vertical Thoughts). In his central cork studio he seeks to combine what is inspiring about the best modern american painters and musical improvisers with his own experience of life in modern Ireland.

Daniel will be opening his painting studio at camden palace to those interested on friday 1st and saturday 2nd of april.
