According to the artist; “Drawings and paintings of both national and international regions create subtle energy and movement. The charcoal drawings are self-referential. In contemporary society travel has increased and each individual conducts a personal journey as a clarification of his or her consciousness.” Matthew O’Kane demonstrates his relative interpretations of personal and universal experiences; this is the exploration of surroundings and influences, coupled with the observation of sociological phenomena of travelling and displacement.
