On a quiet street in Dublin two young boys play with an abandoned pram. Looming over them an old Georgian house in the city stands as a silent sentinel watching over the scene below. In the distance a massive gasometer dominates the surrounding neighbourhood. The scene is ostensibly two children and a dog lost in play on an anonymous corner, they are however, an analogy for the massive changes that have taken place, and continue to take place in the urban fabric of Dublin city. There is a political, moral and social element to the work as the question is raised, what will become of these disenfranchised children. Heavily influenced by the work of American artists Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, N.C. and Andrew Wyeth, the American born artist Brian Palm also brings the political elements of the American social realists and the 'Ashcan School' to bear in his work. Using the technique of collage for the design and composition of his work, the Artist applies glazes of oil paint and varnish to add luminous colour to an otherwise gritty monochromatic scene. Graphite pencils and colour pencils are extensively used to add texture and detail along with spray-paint, and encaustic techniques. The work is highly finished to While maintaining a strong message Brian Palm's work leaves the viewer with a sense of beauty, optimism, resilience and hope.
