Bio:

Irish painter Eileen Costelloe attended the National College of Art and Design. She went on to study in Paris and the thick application of paint, often using a pallet knife, in her still lifes and landscapes indicate the influence of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism on her style. Costelloe regularly exhibited with the Water Colour Society of Ireland, the Ulster Society of Women Artists, the RHA and the David Hendriks Gallery. She was a member of the United Arts Club.

Dublin born artist Robert Ballagh has worked in numerous, but always recognisable, styles, but has most often been labelled a pop artist and a photorealist. His painting career began in 1966, working as an assistant to Michael Farrell where he received his only training, and is otherwise self taught. Just three years later he represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale, and since then has enjoyed success at home in Ireland, with a full scale retrospective at the RHA in 2006, as well as holding solo shows abroad in Sweden, Russia, Bulgaria and Poland.
Active both artistically and politically, Ballagh is a member of Aosdana, held an honorary presidency role at the International Association of Art, and coordinated the 75th anniversary commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising in 1991 as well as the opening ceremonies of the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games and the 2006 Ryder Cup. His design skills were put to use further in the public realm when he designed the last series of Irish Banknotes before the introduction of the euro, and he has designed over 70 postage stamps. He has also designed numerous theatre sets, most famously for Riverdance. His paintings can be found in the major collection including the National Gallery of Ireland, Ulster Museum, Trinity College Dublin and Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery.

Influenced by French painting, her studies of the female body, still lifes and flowers, retain a vibrant fauvist quality and simplicity of form. Stella Steyn exhibited in London throughout the 1950’s. The influence of French art, particularly Cezanne, is notable in many of her paintings.

Artist: Norman Teeling (B.1944)

Title: “The Flower Seller, Grafton Street”

Medium: Oil on Board

Image Size: 36 X 36 Inches

Born in 1944 in Dublin, Norman Teeling is known as a leader in Irish impressionist painting, praised for his plein air style. He attended the National College of Art and Design in Dublin under Maurice MacGonigal PPRHA and John Kelly RHA, after which he taught fine art for a number of years. Working in oils and sometimes watercolours, his subjects include still life interiors, portraits, genre scenes and history painting. Teeling was commissioned to produce ten paintings for the General Post Office in Dublin to depict the events surrounding the 1916 Easter Rising, which presently remain on display.

The artist has exhibited throughout the UK and Ireland including at The Oriel Gallery in Dublin and The Barbara Stanley Gallery in London.

Artist: John Schwatschke (B.1943)

Title: “The Ballroom of Romance”

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Image Size: 40 X 30 Inches

Born to Austro-Irish parents, John Schwatschke is most widely known for his inventive caricature portraits. His study and interest in the face, and its expressions over a lifetime has produced some 2,500 portraits and bronze busts, recorded in the Schwatschke Archives, both in academic and caricature portraiture. As the New York critic A.G. Rothenberg wrote in 1996 of Schwatschke, “The choice of subject and the depiction of feeling in the portrayal of his subjects is special, and shows it comes from an individual hand. It is an autograph of the artist’s character and spirit.”1

In Waterford the artist lived in Corballymore, Dunmore East and was a pupil of Bishop Foy School, later attending The King’s Hospital Dublin. He went on to study art and architecture in Dublin & Munich, and was a project manager on two large construction projects in Jeddah, working for the King’s banker there.

His formal portrait sittings include those of Pres. E. de Valera (Chancellor NUI) whom he came to know over a two year period, and who told the artist “Do one thing, and do it well, and I believe this should be art.”2 Other sitters include Harold Robbins, Robert Mitchum, Ingrid Bergman, the Duke of Edinburgh (1976), Lunia Czechowska, Church Hierarchy, and the last portraits of Bernadette Greevy, Cyril Cusack and Noel Purcell (Carlow Town Collection).

In 1970-79 the artist had his studio in Provence at Mougins, where he rented an old mill house from the French singer Serge Reggiani, and was a neighbour of Pablo Picasso. It was here that some 200 of the artist’s works were to be exhibited in the newly formed Le Musée Schwatschke. However, government restrictions held up the project and it was instead transferred to Ireland and built near the artist’s home at Carlow, opened 1976 by The Austrian Ambassador with Suzanne McDougald (closed 1994).

Alexander Williams (1846-1930) is known for his talent in landscape and marine painting, but was also a successful taxidermist, with a significant collection of his birds and small mammals held in the Natural History Museum in Dublin. Raised in Drogheda, Co. Louth, he was largely self-taught and received just a few evening lessons in drawing at the RDS (Royal Drawing School).

He began exhibiting with the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1870 and would continue to show work there for a running total of sixty one years. Williams moved permanently to Achill Island in 1899 which would become a significant source of influence for him. The garden he cultivated there has since become a popular public attraction.

James Gorry in Patrick Leonard HRHA - Fifty Years of Painting (1990 Retrospective Exhibition at The Gorry Gallery, Dublin) writes "The integrity of Leonard's approach is such that a peaceful landscape will accommodate a car or 'plane if it passes at the time he is sketching, and colours considered too vibrant by others, but very real in his perception, are never constrained - this freedom of spirit is a hallmark of his work".

Michael Coleman, originally from Dublin, studied at the Limerick School of Art. After living for a brief time in Vienna, he returned to Ireland and has remained living and working in Dublin since. At the height of his artistic vision he received the Carrolls Open Award at the Irish Exhibition of Living Art (1978) and the IELA Power Award (1979). His inclusion in the Irish Art of the Seventies show at IMMA and the Crawford Gallery showed the strength of his work from this period.

The art critic, Aidan Dunne, has written of Coleman being best known ‘as an exceptionally rigorous painter of usually monochromatic abstracts, built up from layers of colour and often culminating in black’. From 2005-2008 he was artist in residence in the Phoenix Park Dublin and his work is included in major collections in Ireland, including Trinity College, the Office of Public Works, the Hugh Lane Gallery and the Arts Council collections.

Title: 'Kinsale’

Medium: Oil on Board

Image Size: 14 X 10 Inches

Bio:

Brian Quinn was born in Dublin in 1947. He first exhibited at the age of 17, in the Hellfire Club Studios, this was quickly followed by a second solo exhibition where he came to the notice of Sean Keating, who pushed him to apply to College to further his career. Upon his acceptance into the National College of Art and Design on a scholarship where he studied under Carey Clarke, Sean Keating and Maurice McGonigal. He received his Honours Diploma in Fine Art in 1972. Known as a ‘plein air’ painter, his close relationship with Dublin is expressed strongly in his works, his striking strokes, painted directly in the open allow his works to capture the light and mood of the moment. At the age of 19 Brian went to a small Andalucian village in Spain where he painted landscapes and people of the villages in their daily lives.

When he returned to Ireland he became the only painter to win the Taylor Art Scholarship twice, first in 1969 and then in 1970. In 1973 he won the Higgins Travelling Scholarship, which lead him to exhibit his works in the Jordan Marsh Gallery, New York, USA. Since the early 70’s he has gone on to be exhibited in the Royal Hibernian Academy, The Oireachtas, The Irish Watercolour Society and More.

In 1994 he visited Venice, and from this evolved his style with more fluidity to his work. The hot summer of 1995 resulted in a prolific display of this work which was encompassed by bright colours and a powerful sense on warmth, that continued in his style and is still present in the small number of works he still produces in his retirement in his home in Spain.
