Kieran Rook specialises in installations, painting, film, sculpture, and sound art. Working with immersive installations that involve wall-based works, floor pieces, sculptures, screens, and sounds. Creating alchemy by combining various sculptural installation aesthetics with time-based mediums and sound art compositions to create exaggerated and disorientating artworks.

In the past year, Kieran’s focus has shifted towards merging film and painting mediums, evolving from a foundation of exaggerated and disorienting narratives cultivated from a deep fascination with the intricacies of human desire and the ways in which they intersect with symbolism. Exploring themes of culture, consumerism, artifice, and subversion within the collective lived experience. By incorporating everyday objects and constructed sets made from recycled materials and repurposing them in unexpected ways to explore themes of desire, identity, and the complex relationship between individuals and the contemporary consumer culture. His artworks are characterized by a vibrant and surreal aesthetic, where he juxtaposes familiar and often nostalgic symbols to create new subverted hybrid narratives.
