"I was born in New York City in 1954 and moved to Ireland in 1966. I studied English Literature and History at Trinity College, Dublin and developed an abiding love for both. I have since come to see these studies as an essential part of my artistic training. While poetry and prose require inner visualisation, an understanding of history has given me a sense of the bigger picture. For the remainder of my 20s I worked in printing and publishing. I began painting full time in 1985, making three dimensional work in 1989 and photo-based work in 1998. In the last decade, I have spent much of my time swapping stories with the people I photograph. We try to realize common symbolic elements in our shared inner landscapes. The images often have a mythic quality to them. This is because I believe we should see our lives as epic adventures, our struggles as heroic." - Douglas Ross Chromogenic print on Fuji Crystal Archive Matt paper Paper Size - 15" x 12" (38 x 30 cm) Image Size - 12½" x 10" (32 x 25 cm) Image Date - 2020 Print Date - June 2021 Catalogue - DGR002FU Condition - MINT Signed in the negative Numbered gallery stamp Title below image Certificate of Print Authenticity Ships in a large PVC tube
