SHOCK ART

The disturbing Work of Helnwein comes to Ireland
Helnwein is a headline artist who works in tight sound bites on a very large scale.
The works brand themselves with proof of his technical know -how in various media and are endorsed by the coolest celebrities of his generation.
So much for the cover-story, so what lies within?
Headlines lure you into stories that make you want to cry, smile or help to change the world.
But when they stop at your own skin, you can get a sinking feeling, a sense of the bigness and badness outside and the impossibility of change.
