Gareth Maguire is an Irish-born artist now working in Austin, Texas, whose expressive studio practice spans painting, monotype/monoprint, poetry, and performance. With a stream-of-consciousness approach, Maguire builds layered works by printing multiple passes of inked images, stencils, drawings, and text, resulting in pieces infused with rhythm, memory and urban pulse. His work channels neo-expressionist energy and graffiti-inflected forms, evoking the fragmented portraiture and social critique of post-war painters while injecting his own raw immediacy. His figurative paintings explore dichotomies—love and hate, war and peace—alongside fragments of his own life and observation, re-contextualizing familiar imagery through a charged vernacular. Maguire continues to evolve a distinctive voice that merges cultural commentary, visual intensity and poetic gesture.
