PAUL FLYNN - IRISH ARTIST
By Jason McDonnell

Irish Artist Paul Flynn’s current work is based on the Burren.

His work is evocative of the unique landscape in which beauty is sheltered and preserved in the wonderful, rugged charm of the limestone of County Clare

He was born in Ireland and currently lives in Bray. His work can be seen every Sunday at Merrion Square between 10am and 5pm. He has studied colour and images in detail on a professional level for many years.


His Art is influenced by Irish landscape, culture, writers, storytellers, the people and all aspects of Irish life which in itself has a story to tell. His work forms part of collections in Europe, America, Australia and China.

He started in 1982 as a lithographer working for John Hinde, learning how to etch plates and following it on to the final print. His skill in the area of print was well recognised and he gained invaluable knowledge of the chemistry and mechanics of printing with oil-based inks. He has used his knowledge of oils to bring paintings to life using the transparent nature of paint. His exposure to the worlds landscapes has given him a great appreciation of the island of Ireland it’s landscape and culture.His work stands out as unique, being one of Ireland’s most creative and original artists. His first solo Exhibition ‘Wild Beauty’ will take place in the Providence Market Gallery, Galway. It will be mostly figurative work that will run in conjunction with the Galway races. The Gallery can be found opposite Meadows and Burns.

July 26th - August 30th 2009. If you would like an invitation to the opening or would be interested in knowing more about Paul’s art you can contact Paul at info@paul-flynn.com
