Driftwood Editions is an independent publisher producing limited editions of work they find interesting worldwide. It is an ongoing colloboration between Post Studio and photopgrapher Rich Gilligan. For this edition they published a body of work from painter Carl Hickey. This series of paintings were originally painted by Carl for his degree show exhibition in 2022. Subsequently photographed by Rich and re-published eventually in book form.
Carl’s paintings provide an intimate, often raw perspective on life in Dublin, capturing moments of urban mundanity, absurdity and fleeting beauty. His work is rooted in observation—whether scenes of overlooked streetscapes, familiar neighbourhood haunts, or quiet personal spaces.
