Patrick Jolley

Irish, (1964–2012)

Patrick Jolley was an Irish visual artist engaging in film, photography and installation. He was profoundly interested in the ordinary and exposing its proximity to the horrific. Imbued with a dark sense of humor, Jolley’s work features absurd characters existing within violent, horrific, and at times, impossible narratives. Notably, Jolley’s work did not engage in the virtual, instead he utilized handcrafted effects and environments as part of his practice.
