O’Brien’s talent and commitment to his subject is already recognised by his peers, with a number of awards including the Irish Professional Photographers’ Association Rex Roberts Medal. ‘Good Rats’ at Art Work Space is sure to see this recognition grow – giving the public an opportunity to enter the world of these young punks and a chance to catch the work of one of the Art World’s brightest emerging talents.

The show entitled ‘GOOD RATS’ marks the first substantial exposition of work from the ‘Superheroes’ series – an ongoing project that has seen O’Brien living alongside, and observing the lives of, a group of young punks from South-West London over the last three years.
