Biography / CVPádraic ReaneyPádraic Reaney was born in Galway in 1952. He went to art college for a few years, encouraged by Oisín Kelly, and has been a full - time artist since leaving college. He painted for several years in Galway : later he built a studio in Moycullen, where he now lives and works. In addition to his paintings, he has worked extensively in graphics and has done sculpture in bronze and stone and ceramic with a rich use of silver and gold leaf. His work is in great demand for book covers, illustrations, and CD covers. He has also created a series of striking wall - hangings done in the studio of V'Soske Joyce. One of his exhibitions based on the Táin was the subject of a film made by R.T.E. chosen as one of the three top films in the Pan Celtic International Film Festival for 1988. This film and an interview with the artist were shown on R.T.E. , where short features on his work and interviews with him have often appeared. He represented Ireland in the XVI Grand Prix International d'Art Contemporain de Monte Carlo in 1982 and was awarded the Pádraic Mac Con Midhe Prize at the Oireachtas in 1979 to do a series of etchings recording the disappearing thatched houses in Ros an Mhíl, Connemara. A founder member of Western Artists and Island Connection, he was invited to Scotland by the North Ayrshire Council in 1996 to do a series of exhibitions on the Isles and the West Coast of Scotland. He was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Galway Arts Centre in 1996 and served on the Board until 1999. His work is in public and private collections in this country as well as in Europe, Canada, the United States, Brazil, Japan, South Africa and Australia. |
