Artist: Sarah Mitchell
Title: Cooloola's Patterned Fish I
Medium: Hand-coloured lino cut (editioned to 5)

"I grew up in Ireland, my fevered imagination fed by the poetry of Hillaire Belloc and Edward Lear. Their poems were often published with glorious illustrations. Combining words and images has been a lifelong passion, and as I grow older, the humour in a lot of my work has sharpened into satire."

John Behan RHA

SOLD
Artist: John Behan RHA
Title: Tain Wax Bull
Medium: Bronze

Born in Dublin in 1938, and now living and working near Galway city where he continues to vary his style of expression, John Behan is firmly established as a sculptor of international stature.

"My art is related to ancient culture as well as to modern technique. I feel that every artist, be they poet or writer or sculptor or painter, must have roots, roots that will tap into the ground. It's not to say that you don't live in the modern world - I use all the technology that I possibly can to express myself, I am very aware of what's going on in terms of technical innovation - but in terms of Irish art, we have had a gap between the Middle Ages and the 20th Century when no visual art was produced. So I had to go back: the future was in the past, if you like."

Charlotte Kelly

Artist: Charlotte Kelly

Title: Sheltered Cove

Medium: Oil on linen

'Having deep intimacy with the earth and its changing shapes and forms gives a real feeling of spirituality and emotion. Driven by a sense of quietness, these shapes have often been moulded into a figurative form. Nurturing the work rather than insisting on immediacy.
