Born in 2007 in Cork, Ireland, Illucá Shanahan is an independent artist now based in Coffs Harbour, NSW. Shanahan’s practice involves the use of acrylic paint and canvas, utilised in an effort to confront the viewer’s expectations of form and texture.

 

In the realm of ambiguity, Shanahan discovers the most compelling forms of expression—ones that embrace multiple viewpoints and continuously evolve over time to reflect his lived experiences.
