The Omega 3D in exhibition
What comes to mind when people mention 3D? Films? Non-traditional? Something else, perhaps? We’ve
had our fair share of 3D art here on The Art Elephant, from 3D texts from the likes of Tolga Girgin and Lex
Wilson, to 3D street art from artists like Bordalo II, Odeith and Edward Mueller.
However, a new type of 3D art popped up and took us by surprise – when this man’s works of art got our
attention, it was never what we expected! Paul McCloskey’s creations are definitely for the books. This
painter who hails from Ireland has a style all his own. Born in Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan but now
based in Gorey Co. Wexford, Ireland, Paul has been painting professionally having earned many art
exhibitions to his name.
After attending both the National College of Art and Design (N.C.A.D) Dublin and De Montfort University
UK, Paul was also awarded a master’s degree in fine art Painting (MFA) in 2010. Since then, his artworks
have been on display in his home country and worldwide, including the rest of the UK, London, Paris,
Venice and New York. He’s even gotten a lot of awards for his art!
Take a look at these paintings and think of what you see:
