In The last vision of a forgotten god, Driscoll conjures a fading divinity at the edge of twilight, a spectral figure glowing within a tranquil, mist-filled landscape. The work reflects on the loss and erasure of ancient belief systems, particularly those of Celtic and Irish mythology, whose deities were supplanted and obscured by colonizing forces.


Driscoll imagines this figure’s final moment of beauty before disappearance—a quiet dissolution into atmosphere and memory. The delicate luminosity of his palette and precision of his brushwork evoke the Romantic sublime, while his subject belongs to a distinctly contemporary mythology that acknowledges history’s violence, the persistence of spirit, and the fragility of cultural memory.


Suspended between apparition and extinction, the painting becomes both elegy and resurrection—a vision of what lingers when gods are forgotten.
