Michael Fitzharris was born in Limerick in 1952. He studied at the Limerick School of Art and graduated in 1973. He then undertook post-graduate studies at the Hochschule für Bilden Kunst in Berlin from 1973 until 1976. On his return to Ireland he taught art in both Kerry and Dublin but now paints full time. He now lives and works in Dublin and in Marbella, Spain. “His work is grounded in landscape. The pictorial perspective is invariably aerial which creates a tunnel view that the audience enters into visually. Paint is usually scratched into the surface and lines and shapes swirl as if controlled by natural forces. The colour is often Mediterranean in hue and he favours rich yellows, orange, vibrant greens and blues. Occasionally industrial or sensitive environmental circumstances are chosen as subject matter”.
