As we face the dawning of a new decade, we bear a collective responsibility to repair the earth, and initiate change. We are fighting against time. We live in an era where nature is constantly staving off the consequences of humanities wanton destruction.

Timeless and placeless, this image portrays the fragility and preciousness of Nature on the one hand and exemplifies the strength and resolve of Nature - on the other.
Welcome to the 2020’s, a crucial time in history. During this decade, humankind will either decide to take a stand against climatic maelstrom, or to plunge into it.

David Magee (b.1963) is an Irish Artist. He was born and raised in Cork, Ireland and studied Fine Art at Crawford Municipal School of Art, Cork. In 1982, he attended Glasgow School of Art & Design.

He has been the recipient of numerous awards including more recently, The Paris Photography Prize (PX3) - The Lucie Awards, New York, - The Tokyo International Foto Awards.

He has produced two photographic monographs including the award winning ‘Outside’, a twenty-five year retrospective, which was published to international acclaim in 2017. He has exhibited globally and his works are held in both private and municipal collections.
