Tutored by Sean Scully, the Dublin-born colourist is renowned for his vibrant abstract works, many of which feature in important collections including at The Ulster Museum Interview by Lucy White I dont ever really know until the very last minute if its going to work... The exciting thing is peeling it all off and finding out if Ive achieved what I wanted Your exhibition, Complimentary Translucence, is your first in ten years. How come? Ive mainly been working directly with architects and clients. And when the work is finished, it goes straight to the location there was nothing really to put into a gallery, although there have been a few group shows here and there. Its great in one sense, that the works have been going straight out of the studio, but it also means the general public dont really get to see the work. How has your work evolved since your previous show? Over the past 25 years, Ive been developing a technique which is quite unique a lot of people think my work is airbrushed, but its not, the colour is first applied with brushes and then I use a roller to blend the different pigments seamlessly together. My early works are a lot more basic. As a colour theorist, its very important to have precision there isnt much room for error in these techniques, they have to be planned out meticulously. I chose geometry in fact because it is so precise. Is the layering of glazes a meditative process for you? The process is actually quite tedious! Really, the most enjoyable bit is when I unmask everything Ive done and see how various sections fit together. I dont ever really know until the very last minute if its going to work. Its all very clinical but, yes, the exciting thing is peeling it all off and finding out if Ive achieved what I wanted. You can plan it as best as you can but paint always surprises you. All artists want to sell their work, but given your laborious technique, do you ever get precious about your paintings? Although I would enjoy having them on my wall, its like children leaving the home they do really need to go off and have a life of their own. The fact that they do go on certainly pushes me to do more, to fill the studio again and have first started out, saying you wanted to be an artist was like, Oh you poor thing, youll never have a life! Now people can see positive aspects to their children pursuing the arts. Sean Scully has championed your paintings since your early career. Which artist do you most admire? Obviously, I do like Scullys work but I also admire Cecil King, who Ive met and was greatly encouraged by. Im also very influenced by the late Victor Vasarely, a Hungarian artist. Money no object, what one work of art would you like to own and why? Id love to own a Walter Osborne, Ive always admired his work which is completely unrelated to what I do but Ive always respected his use of colour. He was very much an Irish post-Impressionist. Yes, if I had a million tomorrow, Id be out there buying an Osborne! Complimentary Translucence runs at The Bad Art Gallery until October 8. www.thebadartgallerydublin.com more paintings around me. Its great to walk into a place and rediscover a piece that was sold years ago, see it hanging and the pleasure that its giving other people in a different environment. Each painting thats out there thats been sold is, lets face it, an advertisement for your work. So Im really not precious about it, Id much rather see them out and about. What are the biggest changes youve seen in Irelands art scene since you first picked up a brush? When I started, there were only six galleries in Dublin. It was a bit of a closed club in many ways, and since then there have been literally thousands of art students coming out of the colleges, and there are many galleries now. Dublin has grown up culturally its a truly great development. Art humanises society. Were surrounded far too much by corporate images that the people of our country need to produce and show our own culture.
