On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to multidisciplinary artist Maurice Leoni-Osion in 2023.
Maurice Leoni-Osion is a Multidisciplinary Artist and Program Director based in Berlin, DE, and Richmond, VA in US. His multicultural approach to Hip-Hop, combined with a deep love for Sci-Fi Thrillers, Afrofuturism, and Record-Artchiving, informs his artistic practice that spans across various mediums: poetry, literature, sound art, music production, film, art programs, exhibitions, and immersive performances—driven by a desire to celebrate and preserve the powerful, untold stories that lie at the intersection of the eyemaginariums of his youth and ancient “tecknowledgey” of his ancestors.
Within the layered entendre of his music youniverse, Maurice sees Hip-Hop as a constant companion and presence likened to a kindred, extended family member, deeply intertwined with a sense of collective memory. His work is often rooted in research from an underground artchivediscovered at a young age, stemming from his grandmother’s beloved record collection, which inspired a love for visual storytelling and ancestral lineage celebrated in album art and liner notes.
These formative experiences would cultivate an environment that fueled Maurice’s unconventional practice as an artist, performer, and director, empowering him to REvolve living narratives that connect the accounts of our experience to the past, present, and future.

On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to visual artist Sadhbh Mowlds in 2023.
Sadhbh Mowlds is visual artist who was born and raised in Dublin.
After receiving her bachelor in Craft Design (Hons) from the National College of Art and Design, Ireland (2014), she relocated to Germany. There, she worked as a freelance glass blower and instructor out of Berlin Glassworks. In 2019 she moved to the U.S, where she received her MFA from Southern Illinois University Carbondale (2022).
Mowlds works in a variety of materials to create jarring, bodily sculptures that initiate critical dialogue about the destructive effects of living within pre-determined, often patriarchal, constructs.
Captivated by the susceptibility of consciousness, Sadhbh responds to the absurdity of human beliefs, perceptions and behaviours by questioning what it truly means to be self-aware in an abrasive, modern society.
Recent residencies include the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, STARworks (NC, USA) and WheatonArts (NJ, USA). Mowlds has participated in numerous international exhibitions, regularly showing throughout Europe and the USA. Her work is included in the permanent collections of Kunstsammlungen der Coburg, Germany and the Museum of American Glass, NJ, USA.

On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to interdisciplinary artist Aaron Smyth in 2023.
Aaron Alexander Smyth, is an Irish interdisciplinary artist whose practice investigates identity and its formation. His work explores how our experience is visually coded within systems of power and how these codings, in turn, shape us, reflecting on the contradictions and truths cradled between our realities and fictions.
His work draws from art historical, cinematic, and archival imagery, weaving these elements together and contrasting them with a dynamic range of materials.
This fusion constructs a world suspended between the real and the subconscious, a reflection on our contradictions and truths, a silhouette of the present and mutual truth that is timeless.
Smyth holds a BA (Hons) with distinction in Fine Art from the National College of Art and Design (Ireland) and has recently been awarded an MFA with distinction from the Glasgow School of Art (United Kingdom).
Exhibited extensively nationally and internationally with works held in public and private collections, he has been awarded Artist-in-Residence positions alongside GUM Collective in The National Gallery of Ireland, The Royal Hibernian Academy and Black Church Printmakers. Recent awards include the Leverhulme Master of Fine Art Bursary for academic excellence and the RSA John Kinross Scholarship for extended research.

On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Ruby Wallis in 2022.
Ruby Wallis often works with gendered experiences through photography, installation and moving image. She engages in a haptic way, using the close-up to simulate touch and direct experience through the lens. Her work focuses on the immediacy of an embodied approach. She twists and turns, working with fragmentation, shadows, and materiality. Her practice is becoming increasingly collaborative, operating through conversations, sound, images, and texts. She is interested in an investigation of intersectional viewpoints to disrupt a singular dominant voice and gaze.
She builds on the tension between the wild and the domestic, disorder and order, human and non-human. These ideas manifest through experimentation with psychogeography, reclaiming perilous spaces as a nocturn.In order to disrupt the smooth surface of the photograph, she experiments with early photographic processes using exposure to sunlight, analog, layering and cutting, to create slippages between conscious and unconscious modes of perception and knowing.
Ruby Wallis holds a 2015 PhD Fine Art Media – The National College of Art and Design, Dublin.

On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Mia Shattock in 2022.
Mia Shattock is a painter from Dublin, Ireland with a MFA in Fine Art, National College of Art and Design, Dublin, Ireland (2023).
She is interested in how film narratives permeate our understanding of reality and how media imagery moulds our sense of self in the digital age. Her large scale oil paintings capture the unseen elements of media portrayal. She uses a monochrome palette, building some up in full colour glazes to exude a dreamlike quality, or leaving the underpainting as its final form. The work dismantles ideas of hyperreality, prompting viewers to acknowledge the pervasive presence of media constructs, initiating a dialogue between film and philosophy and unravelling the intricacies of human emotion and perception as they intersect with cinema.

On this episode, Caren Sullivan Talks to multidisciplinary artist Michelle Malone in 2022.
Michelle Malone’s multidisciplinary practice presents an autobiographical narrative of growing up in a variety of socioeconomically disadvantaged urban areas, mainly Oliver Bond Flats in Dublin’s inner city.
Through installations comprised of sculptural objects, image-making, audio and text, she aims to bring forward discussions of class, taste, belonging, identity and community. Using pop culture iconography relating to childhood and adolescent memory, as well as family and peer storytelling, Michelle Malone presents materials that are specific to site/time and that intend to evidence ethnographic, phenomenological and experiential meaning. In addition to her interests in developing installations and a body of work that discusses class concerns she is also developing a practice of creative writing that supports her projects.
Although the audio, text and sculpture parts of the installations can be experienced independently they exist to unfold a narrative that displays a material capital that converses both a personal and a collective Irish identity.
Michelle Malone graduated from Technological University Dublin with a first class honours BA in Fine Art. She was awarded the RDS Whyte’s Award 2020, Fire Station Artists' Studios Graduate Award 2020, Mont Kavanagh Graduate Award 2020, John Creagh Student of Excellence Award 2020. Michelle Malone self-organised a solo exhibition of her graduate installation titled Summer Project 1997in The Complex, 2020.

On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Szymon Minias in 2022.
Szymon Minias graduated in 2022 from SETU Wexford School of Art & Design with a degree in art and specialises in paint and portraiture.
Largely an unfolding process of developments, Szymon sees painting as a study of “abstraction of the real”, where every element should have a life of its own when ruthlessly singled out.
On a personal level, Szymon said painting serves as an outlet to visualise his emotional reaction to the subject, where style — the appearance and relationship between elements inside the work – becomes the main language.
His fixations pay attention to rhythm, various angles of attack the painting can be observed from and the constant re-examination of the work’s presence.
Szymon was shortlisted in the RDS Visual Art Awards 2022, exhibiting artists from some of the best BA & MA visual art graduates from all over Ireland.

Opening Season 14, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Venus Patel in 2022.
Venus Patel is a performance artist, experimental filmmaker based in Dublin, Ireland.
Patel’s work concerns her experience as a trans femme of colour, trying to navigate the world. Through the use of costuming and loose gender expression, she encapsulates the campy blend of her queer identity. Venus questions the heteronormative society we live in, why the need to conform is so heavily enforced, and how that affects the perceptions of ourself, others, and the world around us. Although her work deals with serious subject matter, she utilises a unique mix of humour, absurdity, and abjection to create multi-faceted performances and experiences.

On this Halloween Special Episode, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Alec Michael Wilson in 2022. you can watch the full performance on Ultraviolet Art Talks Instagram (link on).
Alec Michael Wilson (Alphi Demp) is an artist, musician of the bands VistaFutur, Irate Yeats
VistaFutur VistaFutur crafts a captivating musical experience by blending guitar-driven melodies with expansive soundscapes, evoking a cinematic atmosphere that resonates deeply with listeners. Their sound draws inspiration from the experimental edge of Radiohead and the genre-bending creativity of Gorillaz, while also incorporating elements reminiscent of The Caretaker's nostalgic depth. Subtly integrating pop sensibilities into their atmospheric textures, VistaFutur creates music that is both hauntingly familiar and emotionally immersive.
Their debut album, *...is the black box projector of a once-derelict cinema*, released in 2023, served as a bold statement of intent for the band. The album introduced their signature style, weaving intricate layers of melody and atmosphere to craft a visceral journey through memory and imagination. With its evocative title and richly layered compositions, *black box projector* established VistaFutur's artistic vision, marking them as a distinctive voice in contemporary music. Far from being just an introduction, the album set the tone for their creative direction, projecting a sonic narrative that is mesmerizing and profoundly impactful.
*Tinselcrown*, in late 2024. Spanning nearly 20 tracks, the album takes listeners into more abstract and, at times, brutal sonic terrain. Unlike its predecessor, *Tinselcrown* presents each track as an individual vignette, exploring fragmented yet cohesive narratives through experimental, raw soundscapes.
Irate Yeats are a Galway/Wexford based duo who have been writing and performing music together for over 10 years.
Taking inspiration from artists such as Sonic Youth, New Order, Soundgarden, Radiohead, The White Stripes and The Cure, Irate Yeats seek to combine their multiple grunge, electronica, garage-rock and post-punk influences into potent radio-friendly unit-shifters.

Róisín White is a visual artist based in Dublin, working primarily with photography, while incorporating drawing, sculpture, and collage into her practice. Róisín holds a BA (hons) in Photography from DIT, and certificates in Ceramics, Sculpture and Drawing from NCAD.
Róisín White’s work draws from found objects, images, and archival materials, where she is interested in exploring lore and the fictional narrative that can be discovered in discarded imagery and objects. Storytelling and process are central parts of White’s practice.
She is currently developing her photographic work into a more sculptural practice, using fabric, wood, resin, and furniture, all with a photographic root. She works with her hands, generally printing in the darkroom where possible, using sculpture and interventions in the gallery or the landscape as modes of experimentation and play within the project's delivery or development.
White has exhibited her work in Ireland and across Europe, including the Finnish Museum of Photography, PhotoIreland Festival, and the Capa Centre. She was selected to represent PhotoIreland at Futures Photography platform, and was selected from an international open call to take part in Parallel European Photography Platform in 2018/9.
