LIAM SCULLY
LIAM SCULLY
Champion amateur boxer before swapping his gloves for paint brushes, pencils, pastels, charcoal, voodoo, bits and bobs, whiskey and beer – Liam Scully coined the phrase art dogs. “It seemed an appropriate term for the group of artists I hang out with - see art dog manifesto at www.liamscully.blogspot.com.”
Studied BA fine art at Birmingham UCE and went on to an MA Fine Art at Chelsea before the college was made a University and occupied a fancy building. Recently held solo show “Culture Moved Forward While My Back Was Turned” at the launch of Model Gardeners and exhibits often in various shows in the U.K and abroad.
Predominately a dirty painter but also delves in performance, sculpture and video. Scully has featured as Jimmy MacJimmy in Rex Nemo and the psychic self defenders, a band that has been described as “under the influence of drugs this music is intolerable!” Also formed the DJ super-group Incredible Itchy Nipplez staring as the Outback Criminal.
In Saatchi Magazine Harry Pye recently included Liam Scully in his top 15 future greats, whether this will occur in the next 10 years or 110 years is yet to be seen but if you are seeking that certain edge in your work Scully could be the Tutor for you.
