John Kindness

John Kindness (Born Belfast 1951) is an Irish multi-media artist whose work often contrasts material, image and reference in an unusual and humourous way. He attended the Belfast College of Art and now lifes and works in Dublin. Typical of Kindness's work is the Treasures of New York series he produced when he spent time in New York in the early 1990s. Here, scenes inspired by contemporary life but modelled in style on Athenian ceramics are painted on panels from New York yellow cabs, equating the significance and stature of contemporary life with that of classical times. He is also known for his use of tiles in sculpture, often contrasting the domestic and static association of tiling with a dynamic and epic subject.
