Fergal Styles (b. 1992) is an artist living and working in Dublin, Ireland. He uses a wide variety of media to create images that move from low realism to high abstraction. He graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, and his work is held in both public and private collections.

‘’I make art because I am optimistic. Dog’s teeth, disembodied legs, kitchen tiles, plant pots, blue splots and glitter-covered-bunting contest the shifting surfaces of my paintings. I smuggle things in and hide away others, always hoping the work will spring something unexpected upon me. I utilise a wide variety of media in attempt to breach the picture plane and in extension, the dream-like nature of reality. I am playful, and material experimentation allows for the subject of my work to remain emergent. I anticipate my imagination's own agency and let images come forward from the inside out. I make art because I am optimistic.’’
