Victor Sloan
Victor Sloan was born in
Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland in 1945. He now lives and
works in Portadown, Co. Armagh. He uses manipulated photoworks to
comment on the various political, social and cultural aspects of
Northern Ireland.
Victor Sloan is an artist of prodigious versatility and
inventiveness: he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, North and
South America and Asia. Over the past twenty years he has been
particularly associated with a body of work which has explored the
Orange Order and its marching season. While this exhibition
acknowledges the significance of this series of works it also aims
to reassess earlier and later works, which present a much broader
area of study, extending beyond the very narrow reading of his work
to date.
A book "Victor Sloan: Selected Works 1980 - 2000"
with text by Aidan Dunne, Art Critic of the Irish Times has been
published by the Ormeau Baths Gallery and the Orchard Gallery, Derry
to compliment the exhibition.
