Sean O'Connor


Sean O'Connor has been heavily influenced by the great portraitist whether they be painters of photographers, In this spirit he has chosen to create a series of highly constructed images in which he has employed metaphor and allegory as a way of exploring a particular subject matter, that he believes has become of great importance in recent years, therefore he has created a triptych of images on the matter of law & order, particularly in regards to the agents that carry out the enforcement of this code the police, these images are a study of their introduction in 19th century, their recent past and the current state of said institution in contemporary society. In order to question where they are heading as an institution and what that means for ordinary British citizens civil liberties in contemporary society.
