Stephen Loughman works and lives in Dublin, his practice is chiefly painting led. He utilises imagery usually sourced from commercial films. The act of freezing these images in paint allows him to distil and re-edit them to form (as Hugo Hamilton has written) “a cross reference fictionalised somewhere in the past by culture and commerce”. Stephen Loughman is represented by the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery.
