Victor Sloan studied at the Belfast College of Art and Leeds College of Art and Design. His work explores the relics of history, religion and conflict which underpin Northern Ireland society. His photoworks are produced as installations, screen prints and etchings and combine elements of drawing with photography. Sloan alters the photographic image by drawing, painting, using mixed media and collage on the negative and, or print. He has more recently been concerned with making works which locate Ireland within a European context. Victor Sloan has taken part in many exhibitions. His work has been shown extensively in Ireland as well as in London, Germany, the USA and Canada.
