Description
Title: MEN AT WORK, DUBLIN'S GRAVING DOCKS, 2017
Note: Brian McCarthy is a Dublin based artist. Since a self-portrait was shown in the Douglas Hyde Gallery's Living Art exhibition in 1981, his paintings have been included in numerous exhibitions and venues in Ireland and the UK, such as the Royal Hibernian Academy, Whyte's in Dublin and Christie's in London. McCarthy's first solo exhibition, Masquerade, was opened by the late Charles J. Haughey. His most recent one, Boomtown, received widespread media attention for capturing the mood of a broken society during Ireland's banking crisis. His intricately detailed paintings can be found in many national and international private and corporate collections.
