Painting shaped by conflict, aftermath, and memory.

Born in 1956 in Northern Ireland, Rodney Dickson grew up during the Troubled years. Painting remains the primary way he confronts the weight and hypocrisy of war.

Since 1992, sustained research in Vietnam and Cambodia has expanded this practice into installation, moving image, and archival sound — producing work that reads more as historical record than portfolio.
