About The Artwork
This is my self portrait focusing on depression. Depression is a difficult thing to paint, because when you have it then painting is the very last thing in the world you would want to do, but also when you are finally out of it then its hard to really contemplate those emotions again. Its like being in a heavy down pour, and then suddenly the weather clears into glorious weather. It makes it hard to remember what the rain was ever like. Then one day I was working on a completely different painting, and having a few whiskeys. Then suddenly I could 'see' those emotions again. I wasnt feeling them, but it was like being able to observe them like viewing fish on a glass bottomed boat. I started work on this piece immediately as I know this would be a fleeting moment. So that is how this self portrait came about, focusing on the sick, still, empty feelings that depression causes. Also yes that is a fist sized hole in the middle of the canvas. That was a particularly bad day.

Conor Collins is a Manchester based artist who uses unconventional materials and techniques in his art in order to express meaning and messages in his work. Conor’s work has appeared in publications such as TIME Magazine and been shortlisted for the Celeste Art Prize and winning the START Art Prize which saw him exhibiting at BOZAR (Brussels). Collectors of Conor’s work include Stephen Fry, Ian McKellen and Giorgio Armani. Conor has in the past used materials such as HIV Positive Blood, Diamond Dust, Written Words and more in order to convey a strong social or political message. His work challenges the ideas of aesthetic beauty and political rhetoric. As such his work has exhibited both in Galleries and The Speakers House of the House of Commons (UK). Conor continues to challenge both himself and the boundaries of what art should/should not do. He hopes in time to create a platform where the voices of creatives are as influential for social change as the politicians making changes into law.
