The artist Sean Hillen will be represented at Art Chicago by the BlueLeaf Gallery, Dublin. This is the first time he will be represented in America. His humourous photo assemblages were taken during the time of conflict in Northern Ireland. Hillen's reputation is well established, and was confirmed by the recent aquisition of 24 pieces by the Imperial War Museum in London recently for thier permanent exhibition. His topical ‘Troubles’ series (1983-1993) piece together imagery such as the Virgin Mary appearing above a British Army patrol, watchtowers in Piccadilly Circus, masked militants of the Irish National Liberation Army parading alongside the Queen's mounted guard and London Buses.
The BlueLeaf Gallery will also be exhibiting works by Cork based artist Tom Climent and Marty Kelly.
