Greetings, fellow Riddlers!

The concept behind Art Riddler arose in early 2022. While I am not involved in the Irish art scene in any formal way, I have been building a modest collection of work over the last number of years.

As I explore the art scene more closely, I notice how difficult it must be to establish yourself and indeed build a career around your obvious talent and passion. Furthermore, I see studios closing and other groups being challenged for bringing vibrancy to the city. This to me shows an apathy towards artists and diminishes the importance art brings to our lives.

Yours in creativity,

AR
