Salvatore Of Lucan
Salvatore of Lucan (born 1994) (real name Salvatore Fullam) is an Irish artist from Lucan, the eponymous suburb of Dublin. The artist primarily paints large-scale works most of which focus on his own life and often explore themes of home, identity and relationships. The ''Irish Museum of Modern Art'' classified his work as "expansive domestic scenes where realism meets the uncanny, and the familiar broaches the magical."

He remembers looking at them as a child and trying to figure out what their meaning was. Salvatore met his father for the first time in 2018 in New York, which he later used as a ...
