Jupp Linssen Abstract with Flower MIxed media on canvas, 44 x 51 German artist, Jupp Linssen was born in the town of Kempen in 1957. He first studied art with the minimalist painter and sculptor, Joachim Bandeau and since then he has lived and worked in Aachen and in the Netherlands. Linssen has carved out a very successful international career as an artist, with many major art exhibitions in galleries such as the Caldwell-Snyder Gallery, San Francisco, Galerie Maulberger, Munich, Galerie Dansleciel, Mougins, and the Jorgensen Gallery, Dublin. His paintings are now included in many international art collections, including that of the German government - who to date have purchased eighteen of his paintings - the Ludwig Forum for International Art, Aachen, and the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Museum, Düsseldorf. Linssen’s paintings are densely layered textured constructions composed from diverse materials such as concrete, sand, dried pigment, marble dust and paper. The coarse textured and scraped surfaces of his paintings, which echo contemporary urban environments, are often enlivened by abstract representations of nature such as a single flower, outlined in off-white, which result in a delicate juxtaposition, creating a dialogue between notions of weight and lightness, beauty and form, the natural and the man-made. His paintings, exude a Zen like tranquillity with the subtlety of light falling on their textured surfaces, which constantly draws the viewer’s eye to different facets of the painting, as the light changes throughout the day encouraging contemplative engagement. #jorgensengallery #artgallerydublin #jupplinssen #contemporaryart #abstractart #GermanArt

Henry C. Tisdall, RHA (1861 – 1954) The Red Bowl Oil on board, 10” x 12” Henry C. Tisdall was an Irish artist born in 1861, who grew up in Galway in the west of Ireland where his family owned Ellistrin Lodge in Roundstone village. He attended the Royal Hibernian Academy School of Art, alongside fellow Irish artists, Walter Osborne, Joseph Malachy Kavanagh and Oliver Sheppard. From a young age he showed great promise as a painter, winning the Royal Dublin Society competition three years in a row, from 1883 onwards. He was elected an associate member of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1892 and became a full member the following year and taught art classes at the Royal Hibernian Academy School. In 1904 he was one of the artists invited by Hugh Lane to exhibit at his major exhibition of Irish art in England, which was hosted in the Guildhall by the Corporation of London. This exhibition, the first of its kind to showcase Irish art in London, was seen by Hugh Lane as a great opportunity to highlight the need for a gallery of Irish and modern art in Dublin. Other notable Irish artists who took part in this exhibition included Rose Barton, Mildred Anne Butler, Norman Garstin, Edwin Hayes, Nathaniel Hone, William John Leech, Sir John Lavery, Walter Osborne and Jack Butler Yeats. Hugh Lane’s project was realized in 1908 with the establishment of Dublin’s Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, which was the first known, public gallery of modern art in the world. #jorgensengallery #irishart #irishartists #artgallerydublin #artforsale

Therese McAllister Still Life with a Jug of Flowers Oil on board, 6” x 8” Therese McAllister is an Irish artist, who studied at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, before continuing her training as a painter in Florence. On arriving in Florence, she met the Italian artist Pietro Annigoni, who is renowned for his portrait paintings of the British Royal Family. Annigoni encouraged her to enrol in the studio of Nerina Simi, a highly gifted artist, who came from a long line of talented painters. As a student of Nerina Simi, Therese refined her drawing technique and learnt the skills of painting in the classical tradition. During this time, she also frequently visited Pietro Annigoni’s studio, who offered her advice and encouragement on her paintings. Therese McAllister's training in the Simi system, which concentrates on precise drawing and observation and the accurate rendering of forms and space, is evident in her still life paintings. Working mainly in oils, her darkly-glowing still-life paintings are rich and vibrant in colour with a meticulous attention to detail. Life drawing was also an important part of the curriculum and as a result Mc Allister is a highly accomplished draughtswoman and a talented portrait artist. As an artist, she has had many exhibitions, both in Ireland and abroad, and her paintings are included in many art collections in Ireland, England, Italy, France, Greece, Canada and the United States. #jorgensengallery #artgallerydublin #contemporaryart #stilllifepainting #irishart #irishartists

Alexey Krasnovsky Forest, Woodstock, New York Oil on linen, 36 x 48 Alexey Krasnovsky was born in Russia in 1945, and studied art in St. Petersburg at the Tavrichesky College of Art under the constructivist painter Alexander Pavlovitch Zaitzev. In 1979 Alexey emigrated to the United States, but also spent extended periods of time in Mexico, Portugal and France, before finally settling in Ireland, where he first started to exhibit his paintings at Jorgensen Fine Art in 1996. Since then he established a strong reputation as an artist in Ireland with eight highly successful solo exhibitions at Jorgensen Fine Art. His vibrant and arresting use of colour produces paintings which are exotic and timeless. His works are imbued with an emotional intensity and richness, as shown in his landscapes of Mexico, Ireland, Portugal and the United States and in the purity and simplicity of his still life paintings, of which he is a master. #jorgensengallery #artgallerydublin #contemporaryart #alexeykrasnovsky #landscapepainting

Vadim Tuzov Quail Couple Bronze, Edition 1/3 Each 6 x 12 x 6 Ukranian sculptor, Vadim Tuzov was born in 1965 and moved to Ireland with his wife and two daughters in the late 1980’s, where he has since carved out a highly successful career as a sculptor in bronze. He has exhibited with the Jorgensen Gallery for the past two decades and quickly established himself as the gallery's bestselling sculptor in bronze. The inspiration for Vadim’s work stretches back to his childhood growing up in a small village, outside Kiev, surrounded by wildlife and large forests. Even as a child he had an innate artistic ability and made his first piece of sculpture, a small wooden horse, when he was age twelve. Vadim first studied art at a local Junior School of Art, before going on to study drawing and sculpture at the National Academy of Visual Arts & Architecture in Kiev. On graduating from university he then worked as a sculpture restorer for many different museums and institutions. Vadim’s subject-matter and his forte is primarily wildlife sculpture in bronze, which he captures with masterful observation and skill and with great attention to detail. His understanding of anatomy, and his technical abilities, results in dynamic living sculptures that perfectly capture the grace, elegance and strength of his subjects. He takes, say, a rhinoceros, a grouse, a lapwing, or a weasel and gives it that little twist which perfectly ‘gets’ it. An added bonus with Vadim’s bronze sculpture is his fine attention to detail and the exquisite patination of his bronzes. Each piece in an edition, whilst obviously taking on the same form, is rendered ‘unique’ by the application of a distinct and singular patina. This unique quality of Vadim’s work is further enhanced by the fact that he his own bronze foundry so he has complete control over every stage of the bronze casting process, from the initial modelling in clay, to the final patination. #jorgensengallery #bronze #sculpture #bronzesculpture #artgallerydublin #comtemporaryart #artgalleriesdublin

Felim Egan Red Deepening Acrylic on canvas, 18 x 18 Felim Egan is a contemporary Irish artist from Donegal, who studied art in Belfast, Portsmouth, and at the Slade School of Art in London. His painting is characterised by a minimalist abstract style, incorporating simple geometric forms, such as squares and arcs into monochromatic compositions. There is also a sculptural element in his work, not just in his iconography of structural forms and elements, but also in his technique of mixing powdered stone with acrylic paint and building up this paint in layers, which gives his paintings a textured finish. In 1980, he was selected to be Ireland’s representative at the Paris Biennale, and again in 1985, he represented Ireland at the Sao Paulo Art Biennale. In 1993, he was awarded the UNESCO Prize for the Arts in Paris. He has had many international solo exhibitions including at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester and at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin and at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. His paintings are also housed in many important museums, institutions and galleries worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Ulster Museum, Belfast and the British Library, London. He has also completed numerous international commissions including for the European Parliament, the National Gallery of Ireland, Deutsche Bank, Dublin and the Pilaro Foundation, Geneva & Dublin. #artgallerydublin #jorgensengallery #contemporaryart #felimegan #irishart #irishartists

Patrick Hennessy, RHA (1915 - 1980) Seagull & Rose Oil on canvas, 12 x 15 Patrick Hennessy’s realist and sometimes surrealist figure paintings and portraits, with their carefully crafted compositions and attention to detail, won him a large audience in Ireland, and allowed him the freedom to exhibit at both the more conservative establishment exhibitions, such as the annual exhibitions at the Royal Hibernian Academy and also at more contemporary exhibitions of modern art in Dublin, such as those of the Society of Dublin Painters and the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. In addition to his own art practice, Hennessy was also very much involved in the promotion of contemporary art in Ireland, being instrumental in the foundation of the Ritchie Hendriks Gallery, which was at the forefront of promoting modern Irish art in the 1950’s and 60’s. Hennessy’s paintings also received a lot of international attention and he exhibited regularly in the United States and England. In the early 1960’s Hennessy began to suffer from ill-health and started to spend more of his time away from Ireland, finally settling in Tangiers, Morocco in the early 1970’s. In 2016 the Irish Museum of Modern Art held a major retrospective exhibition of his work. As an artist, Hennessy found his own way, never bowing to artistic conventions, whether conservative or progressive, and created artworks that were hugely personal, with their magic realist and symbolist style. #jorgensengallery #irishartgallery #artgallerydublin #irishart #dublin
