Yvonne McGuinness is an Irish multimedia artist. Her work is famous in Great Britain and Ireland. Works in the print and video installation fields of visual arts.
McGuinness works in video editing and printing. Yvonne realized her strength in other areas of art. In her opinion, temporary projects lay the foundation for more meaningful work. All of McGuinness's creations are a subtle form of tension, divided between disguise and revelation.
The master develops film projects that create a dynamic connection with objects. Experiments are not scary for a multimedia artist. Having dared to step into the cinema world, she shot three projects.
The beginning of creativity
Yvonne's biography began in 1972 in Kilkenny. The girl was born on October 12 in the family of a famous businessman, owner of the largest vineyards in the south of France and the legendary winery "Domaine des Anges".
The girl was educated at the Royal College of Art in London. She graduated with a master's degree in art. Then the girl became a student of Korsk "Crawford College". The creative nature has chosen an extraordinary direction for the realization of their ideas.
In 2004, on the first day of August, significant changes took place in McGuinness's personal life. She and renowned actor Cillian Murphy have officially become husband and wife. The artist's first hobby was music. In 1996, at one of the concerts, he met his future darling.
Family and vocation
After the wedding, the couple moved to London. As the wife of a popular performer, Yvonne is known all over the world, even to people far from high art. The family has two children. The eldest son Malachy was born in 2005, his younger brother Aaron was born in 2007.
Both do not want to make their private lives public. Little is known about the existence of McGuinness-Murphy, only that Yvonne accompanies her husband on all trips. After the bustling British capital, it was decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle. The family moved to live in Ireland.
The couple enjoyed the peace and quiet. The splendid climate has a beneficial effect on the well-being of local residents, so stellar parents are sure that their children are not in danger of health problems.
Art in all its splendor
Not far from Dublin, the Irish capital, they live in a spacious house. The boys are delighted with the new habitat. Adults and children walk along the beach every day. Both are confident that the decision to move was the right one.
In 2017, the artist signed a contract with the Draocht company. Under an agreement with the Fingal County Arts Board, Yvonne has been entrusted with the creation of the website and film for the Amharc Fhine Gall exhibition.
Well
Yvonne is interested in a secondary representation of the ordinary. She has created short film projects "The Procession", "This is Between Us", "Charlie's Place". One of her new works is the track-screen production "The Well". Sound and video installation 2017 is presented in a beautiful old church, which is no longer used for services.
The picture is represented by three screens. The action is demonstrated alternately on one, two, or all three at the same time. This decision keeps the audience on their toes. St Patricks Well is a short walk from Clonmel. It enjoys special love.
This is one of the largest saints of the Irish wells. Water flows into a pond made in the style of early Christianity. There is also a seventeenth century temple. Visitors are well acquainted with David Flanner, who looks after the iconic place.
The shot with Flanner, named the Guardian, opens the film work "The Wel". A man slowly walks around the well, talks with visitors, moving to a large pond to clean its surface. Next comes the ballerina Liv O'Donoghue. She flies into the frame, wrapping a white cloth around the cross in the center of the reservoir.
The dancer glides easily, as if performing a mysterious ritual. Between the unhurried work of the keeper and her air movements, there is a barely noticeable, but convincing line. Both characters imbue the wonderful place with a special spirit. Their movements capture the observers.
It took McGuinness a long time to explore the object. She had to work hard to feel the essence of the place, the flow of time in it. But the excellent result became the best evidentiary skill. Both critics and viewers spoke enthusiastically about the film project.
New creation
The two-channel film production is Yvonne's new work. It is called "The wood lands Holding ground where the wood lands". Once the huge fields, where the artist played as a child, were part of the estate.
The estate was owned by the Plunkett family. In the present, they have become a golf club. The artist recruited a group of young people from Dublin 15's Foroige to work. The picture shows the most important stage in their life, the beginning of determining their place in the real world.
The idea combined theatricality of the atmosphere with documentary cinematography. Naturalism and reality touch. Meaning and boundaries crowd out the audience, shifting both visually and verbally.
Most of Yvonne's work is characterized by the tension between the master's self-expression and the desire to hide the personal, intimate.
Among the iconic works McGuinness is called "Bridget Cleary we won’t tell", "Moving mountains", "You Can't Feel What You Feel", "The Central Field".
