Seán Joseph Brennan is a screen printer living and working in Dublin, Ireland. After having to return to Ireland from Australia due to the Covid pandemic, he is currently working as a screen printer in his day job in a car parts manufacturer, as well as producing screen prints of his own artworks from his home studio.
His most recent works revolve around creating a more upbeat mood during this difficult time. The Useless Geansaí and The Useless Risograph are products Seán created during lockdown to lighten the mood a little. A sweatshirt and Risograph print depicting the slogan “Open the Pubs… Tinder is Useless” pokes fun at the situation of being locked in and trying to connect or date online. Seán has partnered up with Irish artist and illustrator Luke Fallon to create an online shop called Hawker Print, where both products are currently available.
Seán has also turned his attention to screen printing his photographic work using the CMYK method. By dividing the image on Photoshop into cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, and converting it to halftone, Seán is able to screen print detailed photographic images at home. His photographs explore Dublin city and the life that revolves around it.
