Aidan Flanagan - Laois and Meath

Irish artist Aidan Flanagan, Laois and Meath

Aidan is a self-taught artist who is originally from Co Laois, and is now based in Co Meath. He creates hand pulled, original, Limited Edition Screenprints, mainly of the Irish Landscape. He uses water-based screenprint inks on Fabriano Artistico HP watercolour paper, and would typically create between 10 and 15 layers for each of his prints. The Limited Editions vary but usually are between 5 and 15 prints in size for more recent work. In his earlier years, whilst serving in the Irish Air Corps as a pilot, he painted watercolours, and exhibited in the Oireachtas and RHA Annual Exhibition, as well as solo exhibitions in AIB Portlaoise, and United Nations HQ in Tiberias, Israel. In 2008 he decided to pursue his art on a fulltime basis, and since then has exhibited his screenprints in RHA, RUA, Limerick Printmakers, EIGSE Carlow, Galway Impressions 08 and 10, and Central Bank, Dublin. More recently he has had his work accepted for Footprint International in CCP Connecticut, BIMPE in Vancouver, and 1st Open International Print Competition in Cornwall, International Print Center New York, Belfast Print Workshop Gallery, Miniprint of Cadaques. He is currently showing his landscape screenprints in Kilcock
