Garden of Eden | Clinton Kirkpatrick at 2 Royal Avenue, Belfast

Event Details

This is a familiar concept; a religious story used to promote notions of beauty, wholeness and connection to the Divine, patriarchy, disobedience, and the introduction of sin and mortality.

During the Covid-19 pandemic the artist reevaluated, started a process, and became approved as a foster carer in May 2021. Clinton is interested in how fostering has influenced his art practice and how he can use the Arts to help support the children. In the artist’s practice he has subsequently made work examining opposing spaces of chaos and calm, and topics relating to homophobia.
