Paul Seawright (born 1965) is a Northern Irish artist. He lives in his birthplace of Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is professor of photography and head of Belfast School of Art at the University of Ulster in Belfast. ==Life and work== Seawright gained an art foundation at Ulster University, Belfast; a BA (Hons) in Photography, Film and Video from West Surrey College of Art and Design, where his tutors included Paul Graham and Martin Parr; and a PhD from the University of Wales. He is best known for his early work from his home city of Belfast, particularly the series ''Sectarian Murder, 1988''.〔() 〕 In this series, he photographed the sites of sectarian murders around Belfast, and paired the images with newspaper reports from the period. By removing reference to the victim's religion, he depoliticised the violence, focusing on the extensive civilian losses in the Northern Irish "troubles" (more than two thirds of deaths between 1969 and the ceasefires of 1994 were civilian). He was also the first editor of the Belfast-based photography magazine ''Source''. More recently, he has made photographs in post-war Afghanistan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paul Seawright – Hidden - Ffotogallery )〕 urban Africa (''Invisible Cities'')〔''Invisible Cities'' is (here ) in Seawright's website〕 and America. In 2002, he travelled to Afghanistan, having been commissioned by the Imperial War Museum, London, to respond to the September 11 attacks and the subsequent war against the Taliban. His photographs of minefields and battle sites have been exhibited internationally and are in numerous public collections. Seawright is professor of photography at the University of Ulster, and was formerly Dean of Newport School of Art, Media and Design at the University of Wales, Newport, United Kingdom. He is a Council member of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arts Council of Northern Ireland )〕〔http://www.artscouncil-ni.org/news/new-chair-announced-for-arts-council-as-sector-faces-toughest-challenges-ye〕 and Vice President of the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts.〔http://www.royalulsteracademy.org/the-academy/members〕〔http://www.artscouncil-ni.org/news/signed-tour-of-the-royal-ulster-academys-annual-exhibition〕 In 2005, the Fotomuseum Antwerp exhibited a major survey exhibition of his work with accompanying catalogue ''Field Notes.''〔''Field Notes'' is (here ) in Seawright's website.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Seawright」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
