Seán Hillen is an artist whose work includes collages and the creative use of photographs.
Born in 1961 in Newry, Hillen lives and works in Dublin. He studied at Belfast College of Art, the London College of Printing, and at the Slade School. His 1980’s photo-collage works, based on his own documentary photographs mixed with tourist, toy packaging, and fantasy material were at different times highly praised and heavily censored.
One featured as a frontispiece in the Imperial War Museum’s recent book ‘Art from Contemporary Conflict’.The original black and white photos have since been acquired as a permanent collection by the National Library of Ireland and …
"Sean Hillen’s latest collection of photo-montages will not disappoint. Fans of his work include The Edge and members of the Guinness family. There are pieces hanging in the Attorney General’s and
Taoiseach’s offices."
"Sean’s images, are raw, they are capturing an emotional response. He explained to me at one point, that he was given a choice of either a gun or a camera and he choose the camera."
"
The new body of work uses images from the 9/11 atrocities, major Irish literary figures and scantily clad beauties to create a picture of a new paradigm, one where nothing seems to be reliable or certain. In these extraordinary times in the Irish State, it is the intelligence of the critical eye that makes the difference. Seán Hillen has not lost his touch.
