Introduction
Cian Duggan's "T H I N S P A C E" employs UV prints on acrylic to conduct a nuanced inquiry into liminality and the impermanence of being. By exploring "thin places" where boundaries of reality dissolve, the artist highlights the dynamic interplay between human, natural, and spiritual realms. The exhibition challenges perceptions of time and space, positing that the essence of reality resides in continuous transformation and the co-existence of contrasting states, manifested through spectral forms and layered landscapes.
“T H I N S P A C E” marks the first solo exhibition by Irish artist Cian Duggan at Gallery Quynh, showcasing his distinctive ongoing series of UV prints on acrylic. The title refers to liminal spaces where boundaries between human and nonhuman, animate and inanimate, natural and artificial forms co-exist, echoing the “thin places” in Celtic mythology. Drawing from memory, realities, and time, Duggan crafts dreamlike terrains featuring figures in flux, suspended between growth and decay. The exhibition delves into the impermanence of the body and materiality, the constant fluidity of boundaries, and invites viewers into a profound contemplation of presence and absence.
