Heeeeere's Johnny!

Hey there folks, let's not confuse me with Jack Nicholson from The Shining; I'm Johnny Corcoran, an artist and photographer from County Meath, Ireland.

My passion for the visual arts knows no bounds, and I specialise in creating highly atmospheric charcoal and pencil drawings. These pieces capture intense emotions, beautifully etched onto the faces of my subjects. My secret? Emphasising the eyes as windows to the soul.

I wield a special mastery in manipulating light and shadow, skilfully transporting viewers into a monochromatic fantasy world filled with whimsy and nostalgia. But hold on, my creativity doesn't stop there. I also dabble in oil paint, linocut, acrylic, and more, expanding my artistic repertoire.

When you delve into my artworks, you'll experience emotions that surpass words, connecting deeply with my life story while revealing in the profound emotional narrative.

And if my art speaks to you, you have the chance to own a piece of this magic. Choose from an original charcoal drawing, an oil painting, or a limited-edition signed print. The power to transform your space with emotion-laden art is in your hands.

So, who's ready to bring a piece of my soul into their home?
Johnny Corcoran
