Paddy Critchley

Paddy Critchley is an Irish artist. He is interested in painting in its ‘high’ and ‘low’ cultural forms; on canvas, painting and decorating, and in sign-painted lettering. His work traces people’s stories through oral traditions in Ireland such as the singing of ballads, telling of stories and the transmission of the Irish language. Paddy is interested in painting life as it unfolds around him.
