Joby Hickey – Joan of arc Place des Pyramids

Description

Joby Hickey is an Irish photographer and painter, and the son of renowned artist Patrick Hickey. He graduated from the Dun Laoghaire School of Art & Design, Dublin in 1994. Beginning (and continuing) as a painter, then training in film, Joby eventually developed a very personal and recognisable style of boundary-crossing-photography.  A master of form and colour, he strives for sophistication through simplicity, and he plays with time.  Joby is not merely a maker of art, he makes his own film and cameras with which to create his art.  His often monochromatic works have a cinematic quality which appears to float between the blurred present, the familiar recent and the almost-forgotten.
