Aaron Smyth

• Visual Artist


Aaron Alexander Smyth (b.1992) is an Irish artist whose interdisciplinary practice investigates identity and its formation. His work explores how our experience is visually coded within power systems and how these codings in-turn shape us, producing a reflection of the contradictions and truths cradled between our realities and fictions.

Visually the work draws from art historical and cinematic referents which seek to probe the socio-cultural and digital landscape of the twentieth century. Through this exploration, the artworks seeks to reveal alternative perspectives on our interconnectedness within the universe, illuminating the intricate dynamics of belonging, absence, and the human experience—a silhouette of the present, a timeless shared truth.
