1982 年生于都柏林,通过绘画和雕塑讲述了一个既及时又具有挑衅性的大胆叙事。沃德出生于爱尔兰,在北爱尔兰长大,他以自己在破坏、混乱和治理方面的个人经历来评论社会的崩溃,并将其与历史和现代的全球冲突联系起来。 这使他能够审视过去是如何塑造世界的; 从气候变化和环境破坏到社会经济不平等。 在沃德的多面画布中,反复出现的图像被模糊和揭开。 他使用潮湿、松散的笔触和独特的标记,通过纯真和天真的怀旧面纱讲述了这个故事,揭示了过去的快照,同时模糊或隐藏了其他人。 “每一层都描绘了不同的时间片段,”沃德评论道,“通常它们是我生活的一部分的截图”。
多年来,沃德一直以许多笔名和不同的团体进行工作,直到最近在2017年打破匿名。这很快引起了国际媒体的关注,从那时起他就一直使用他的本名进行工作。
他的工作室目前位于纽约、洛杉矶和墨西哥城之间。
Born in 1982 in Dublin, tells a bold narrative that is both timely and provocative through painting and sculpture. Born in Ireland and growing up in Northern Ireland, Ward takes his personal experience of destruction, chaos, and governance commenting on the breakdown of society, relating it to both historical and modern-day global conflict. This allows him to examine how the world has been shaped by the past; from climate change and environmental destruction to socio-economic inequality. Reoccurring images are obscured and unveiled in Ward’s multi-faceted canvases. Using wet, loose brush strokes with distinctive markings he tells this story through a nostalgic veil of innocence and naivety, revealing snapshots of the past while simultaneously obscuring or hiding others. “Each layer depicts a different fragment of time” Ward comments “often they are screen- shots of parts of my life”.
Ward has worked under many pseudonyms and different collectives throughout the years, until recently breaking the cover of anonymity in 2017. This quickly grabbed the attention of international media and he has been working under his birth name since.
His studios are currently located between New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City.
