Karl Mooney is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in North County Dublin. His work traverses institutional critique, myth-making, and personal narrative using painting, sculpture, video, photography, and performance.

Sensing the grandness of global change, Mooney’s work engages with the past and present as they shape the future, borrowing motifs from disparate eras and cultures and fusing them into forms that provoke new understandings and possibilities.

Joining a wider artistic conversation at this pivotal moment in human development, his work draws on news events, popular culture, and the architecture of the unconscious.

Karl worked as a professional graphic designer for over twenty years before returning to formal education in Fine Art at TU Dublin Grangegorman. Alive to the alchemy in how images and symbols are used to shape reality he reframes familiar motifs in unexpected ways.
