‘I built it for you’: Clinton Kirkpatrick

Clinton Kirkpatrick examines the human, the absurd, and the systems, or parameters, in which we exist and live. This year’s NI Mental Health Arts Festival’s theme is ‘Belonging’ and Clinton’s work looks at the world from both individual and collective perspectives.

What does it mean to belong in a family, a community, a culture or a world? Clinton interrogates these notions and presents back an absurd, strange and colourful world that can be odd yet strangely familiar.

Characters and situations are created as representations of how the artist experiences the world, where they traverse and communicate through different landscapes.

Clinton presents a collection of paintings, drawings and artworks in Boundary Brewery, at Portview Trade Centre.
Join Clinton for an artist talk on Thursday 14 May 2026 (7pm) at Boundary Brewery, where he will talk about the work on display and how he has experienced Belonging throughout his life.
