Rodney Dicksonalong the edge

Irish artist and motorcycle enthusiast Rodney Dickson chooses many ways to describe living along the edge from his coming of age amidst the political turmoil of 1960s and 70s Ireland to the arduous task of finishing a satisfying let alone great painting It can only be described as a general state of vital ecstatic uncertainty that has come to define his artistic process which is by turns contemplative and fervent I have to keep creating and destroying and then pushing one step further says Dickson Ive ruined many paintings that way but thats okay
