AARON ALEXANDER SMYTH

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.

Smyth achieved a First Class Honours with Distinction from The National College of Art and Design Dublin and is currently completing his Masters of Fine Art in The Glasgow school of Art. He has been awarded Artist-in-Residence positions alongside GUM Collective in The National Gallery of Ireland and Royal Hibernian Academy. 

During this time he has also been the recipient of the Mary Cawley Bursary, and the D-Light BLOW Photo Award and the Leverhulme Bursary.
