Artist Profile

 
Exploring the relationships between time, chemistry and form, Derval’s work is intense yet beautifully simple.
Quietly violent in its combination of media, her work is inspired by meditations on subjects ranging from the human body to light and landscape.
 
Metal, suspended gold, gloss paint, blackboard and varnish are amongst the media that Derval uses to create her finished works.
 
Born in Ireland, Derval studied in France, Canada, the United States and Dublin. Now living in London, she regularly lectures in art at the prestigious Goldsmiths College at the University of London.
 
Original artworks are mixed media on canvas. Commissioned original artwork is also available by this artist.

Research interests
My research focuses on the intersection between language, materiality, process and topography in twentieth-century and contemporary Visual Culture, Philosophy, Theatre and Literature with particular emphasis on Samuel Beckett and Thomas Kinsella. I have completed a manuscript on the relationship between language, subjectivity and the body in Beckett’s prose and drama. My current research projects include a book called Art after Beckett, an examination of Beckett’s influence on contemporary aesthetics. I am editing a special Thomas Kinsella issue of Irish Studies Review, and a collection of the proceedings of the 2006 centenary conference Beckett and Company
