We take a look at five artists whose powerful work is worth checking out...
An Irish artist based in Dublin, Brian McCarthy works exclusively in oils. Centering on magical realism, and infused with political satire, his work has been featured by many fine art auctioneers in Ireland, including Adam’s and Whyte’s, as well as being exhibited in some of Dublin’s main galleries, such as the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Douglas Hyde Gallery. In 2016, his ‘Ghosts Of Palmyra’ was accepted for inclusion in the Royal Hibernian Academy’s Annual Exhibition, while paintings from Brian’s 1916 Commemoration series were on view at the Trinity Gallery. Capturing Ireland’s mood in the aftermath of the banking crisis, Brian’s last solo exhibition ‘Boomtown’ sold out within days. Receiving widespread media attention and acclaim, selected works have since been used to design book covers and illustrate feature articles. For more information go to: http://www.artinprint.com/
