The project twins

The Project Twins are James and Michael Fitzgerald, an Irish based collaborative art duo. They work across a broad range of disciplines including painting, print-making, design, illustration and three-dimensional work. They will be discussing their past and present work , and their creative process.

The Project Twins work together through a process of dialogue and sketching, continually reducing forms to their most basic elements. Their use of minimal forms and graphic shapes are rooted in the visual language of signs, symbols and pictograms. They are interested in the use of this as a universal language and its ability to convey ideas, information and narratives. Recognisable and simple shapes are used as a way to build their own visual lexicon or graphic language which appears to directly communicate while also retaining a sense of ambiguity, allowing for interpretation and inquiry.

Design POP is supported by Backwater Artists Group, Cork Printmakers and the Lavit Gallery through the Arts Council of Ireland's In The Open – Faoin Spéir award: A curated programme of multi-disciplinary, inclusive arts activities in community outdoor spaces running from July 2021-April 2022.
