Simon O’Carrigan

Simon O’Carrigan works across animation, collage and painting. Completing his formal studies in 2007, his first year in the wider art world has been a busy one.  In 2007 his painting Final Days was exhibited in PICA’s national graduate exhibition Hatched, and he was awarded NAVA’s Ignition award for graduating students.

In 2008, he held four exhibitons across Melbourne, with a variety of mediums that spanned hand-made animation, painting, installation and photography.  Simon’s recent animated works have screened in the City Museum, Melbourne; on Channel 31’s 123 TV; and in Taiwan.  His practice seeks ways to combine painting, photography and collage.  His current focus is animation that blends his painting and photographic practice through animated montages.
