In 2008, he attained a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin.[3]

Flood has had residencies at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios in Dublin and the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris.[2][4]

His artwork has been exhibited in Dublin, California, Turin, Paris and Dubai.[5][6][7][8] [9] He has been reviewed in The Irish Times, Artforum, Frieze_(magazine) and Paper Visual Art.[10][11][12][13] His artworks have been included in collections such as the Arts Council of Ireland / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Art Collection and the Office of Public Works Irish State Art Collection.[14][15][16]

He is represented by Green On Red Gallery in Dublin.[17]

[edit]

Flood was shortlisted for the John Moores Painting Prize at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool in 2008 and 2010.[18][19][20]

In 2016, he was awarded the dlr LexIcon 2016 Visual Arts Commission.[21][22]

He was shortlisted for the Golden Fleece Award in 2018.[23][24]

Career

[edit]

In 2010, Flood’s exhibition Counter Earth was displayed at Green On Red Gallery in Dublin. This exhibition was inspired by the ancient Greek concept of a counter-Earth.[13] His artwork was included in the Royal Hibernian Academy's Futures 10 exhibition, where his paintings were described as "landscapes that reference the history of painting with an underlying, otherworldly element".[5]

Flood presented Interior Sun at Green On Red Gallery in 2013.[11]

In 2016, his exhibition Terra Incognita was displayed at the Municipal Gallery at dlr LexIcon.[25] His exhibition A Root that Turns as the Sun Turns was included in a Critic's Guide: Dublin by Frieze.[12] He was one of 16 Irish artists brought together for an exhibition in The Glucksman at University College Cork, Ireland. The exhibition, called 2116: Forecast of the next century, intended to explore the "predictions and projections of an increasingly globalised and technology-driven world".[26]

Flood was one of three artists invited to participate in Known Unknowns at Limerick City Gallery of Art in 2017. The artists created new works for the gallery’s Permanent Collection which were inspired by that collection and reflected on its 80-year history.[27]

In 2021, Flood started including ceramic sculptures in his exhibitions as seen in his exhibition Tilt at the Royal Hibernian Academy. These sculptures were intended to expand the themes of his paintings and activate the exhibition space.[28]

New sculptures were again on display alongside Flood's paintings for his 2023 exhibition A Place for Lost Things at Weber & Weber in Turin.[7]

In 2025, Flood was back in Green On Red Gallery with As Above, So Below, his 7th solo exhibition with the gallery. This exhibition contained themes of death and the afterlife.[29]

Flood’s latest exhibition, A Place to Disappear, is his first solo exhibition in Paris. Currently on display at Brigitte Mulholland, it includes new paintings and ceramics that reflect on the influence of Paris on Flood’s development as an artist.[8]
