Philip Pankov (Republic
of Ireland)
Born near the Black Sea, Philip was developing and printing
his own photographs by the time his family moved to Moscow when
he was fourteen. In 1996, Philip first came to Ireland and has
lived in Dublin ever since. While earning degrees from Trinity
College Dublin and University College Dublin, Philip began avidly
photographing his adopted home. Philip's images of the Dublin
city centre have been described as "An everyday view imbued
with an extraordinary, almost noir-ish sense of drama," by The
Irish Independent.
In a country where age-old tradition and rapid change co-exist,
Philip's Irish photographs highlight the strengths of both and
blend old and new seamlessly together. Recently, Philip was
awarded the prestigious Licentiate Distinction from the Irish
Photographic Federation. You can find out more about the artist

"On Grafton Street at Christmas time /
The elbows push you 'round
This is not my place of memories / I'm a stranger in this
town.
"The buskers sing by candle light / In front of Bewleys
Store
And a young nun offers me a chair / At a table by the door.
"I hear you live near Dallas now / In a house out on
the plains
Why Grafton Street brought you to mind / I really can't explain."
