Breslin uses planes of color to question the basis of the mimetic representation of reality in art. In his paintings we find both schematic figures that brush with abstraction, as well as places that could well be natural landscapes or products of his imagination. The images created by Breslin generate their own narratives and study how and to what degree they communicate among themselves and, more broadly, to art history. Notions such as place and time, as well as loss and reconstruction, are recurrent in his work. Breslin conceives his practice as an opportunity to create pictorial situations that can ignite shared moments in historical and personal ways.
