'WATER DANCE is a mantra to soaring beyond boundaries with grace and boundless power. It’s a metaphor for endless possibilities, an acknowledgement of time which haunts, holds, and cuts through each painting. A system in place which continuously tests his eventual acceptance and dialogue with the real world, in other words, an opening of windows to the world.

Laying the canvas flat lets Whelan proceed with a surgeon’s precision whilst not compromising or assuming what may come. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, his canvases swirl like painterly voyages of the consciousness and draw attention to the beauty, fragility and vulnerability of our environment.'
