White Lady Art is a website for people who don't give a f*^k about Art. This is a website that will show you work you have never seen before.

This is also a site for those of us who despair going into private galleries, and exhibitions in national galleries and museums, and instead of finding work by people who are discovering and furthering their voice and their style, there are given uninspiring and conceptual art that speaks to a select audience only.

Here you will find interviews and videos of artists and openings who are dedicated to their craft and are breaking down moulds of doing things. While this site will showcase new-contemporary art from around the world, many of these artists will be Ireland-based. This is so artists in Ireland can see and hear artists' visions from outside the country, and Irish artists interviewed here can be placed within an international artistic context.

Much of the art that is being lauded and applauded in cities such as London, Berlin, San Francisco and Los Angeles is also present and flourishing here in Ireland. However, because Ireland has few places where artists can exhibit this ultra-modern art, and exhibiting in the wonderful pop-up galleries is expensive, it remains unseen and underground.

White Lady Art will curate art exhibitions that will bring a new generation of artists to the forefront of Irish modern art, and give them the exposure and respect they deserve.

The white lady statue I have used for my logo was photographed on the Sean Heuston Bridge (also known as King's Bridge), and has fascinated me for years. If you happen to be on the top deck of a bus in the city, you can sometimes see her in the windows of people's houses. Nobody* has ever found out exactly where she came from, or who she is, or who created the design, as far as I know. After wondering about her for a number of years, she has become for me a quintessential symbol for Dublin in my mind. By covering her with tattoos designed by Guen Douglas and Amanda Ruby, my intention was to unite traditional Dublin culture with a more modern interpretation. Plus I think it looks deadly! If anyone has any information about her, please feel free to email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
