Shane Cannon - In Words
Acknowledged in May 2008 with an Honors Fine Art Degree, Shane Cannon's work now reflects the unique experience that life on Achill Island and life in general provides for him.
Shane's insights into life have many facades for those who know him well. Never short of commentary on current affairs his fellow students during his academic years in art college will recall his engaging ways with the topics of the time, globalisation, artistic expression, social issues, public art, and his passion for surfing. His emerging and succinct perspectives as a postgraduate are reflected strongly in his work. Shane's art is modern, aggressive, non apologetic. It is at times a medium to give, and at other times it confronts and questions. His imagery is universal. It can be interpreted at both a conscious and subliminal level. A subjective interpretation can take the viewer on a journey which is personal while the energy and colour of his pieces capture the imagination.
Shane Cannon's determined journey into this life of expression through art started somewhere in his second level education. His quiet and confident pursuit of artistic expression became his goal. Shane's life could be described as being dedicated to being open to new possibilities and challenges. His life on Achill Island has served him as it has many other writers and artists to form his approach to living and his ability to give expression through his art.
Shane Cannon's current work celebrates the enthusiasm of a young emerging west of Ireland artist. He possesses a strong sense of identity. His work is unforgettable for it's richness and what it represents. Admirers of his work have said it is a tribute to the energy of the modern young and informed mind.
Shane Cannon's work can be viewed at The Western Light Art Gallery, Keel, Achill Island, Co. Mayo.
