Alison Pilkington

Alison Pilkington is an artist from Sligo who specialises in relief printmaking and lithography. She has exhibited widely in Ireland and abroad.


"In my painting practice I tap into my inner world and personal experiences to conjure up strange and unsettling worlds where all is not entirely at ease. Humour, the absurd and private jokes abound in strange unsettling landscapes. Bizarre figures are recurring motifs. They can be viewed as tragi-comic and quasi- philosophical in tone." - Alison Pilkington



'And We Will Remember Volcanoes' Alison Pilkington
