Laurence O’Toole | Framing The Theatre Of Life
A new collection of works by international artist Laurence O’Toole, where he teases out his narrative based concepts, into a visual format, a modern 2-dimensional play. Here he is using his home town of Bray Co. Wicklow, where he was born and grew up, to be the stage set. Taking images and memories, experiences and old photographs to construct a vignette of thoughts and ideas, all brought together by the changing narrative of his town and county.
Each piece will be accompanied by its own written narrative, not to explain the piece, but to engage and include the viewer in the piece. He has parcelled these in elaborate painted frames on linen, adding to the theatre set that is this life, where all of life’s great plays are inevitably acted out.
