Titanium white has the pigment from the chemical compound Titanium dioxide. Not only is this used in paint, it is also commonly found in sun cream and toothpaste. It has success in these roles due to its high refractive index, stability and how it interacts with both visible light, and Ultra Violet light.
 
Titanium dioxide is more than a base layer or mixing paint; it's vital to all of Niall's art, integral to almost every brushstroke on the canvas. Similar in a way to his view of science, without its underpinning presence, I question what could exist. It creates contrast, depth, and light; and is integral to his work.
