Credo was the first in a series of solo exhibitions by Artlink members, staged throughout 2017, part of Artlink’s professional development programme which aims to support and promote the work of the membership.
Credo, literally “I believe” in Latin, was originally a statement of religious belief. Today the meaning of credo is broader, signifying any system of principals that guide a person or group.
John McCarron is inviting the viewer to think about what triggers a meaningful visual connection between symbol and belief, be it religion, luck or UFOs”. He employs sculpture, painted panels and cubes as “building blocks of belief” with painted symbols as his backdrop.
Based in Buncrana, John is a sculptor and painter. He studied Art & Design and Fine Art at Northwest Regional College and has taken part in group shows at Artlink, CCA Derry and in other venues in the North West. John takes much of his inspiration from early Irish, Celtic and modern art.
