George Dunne The Band - Oil on Canvas
Born in Dublin, George is a European painter. From Irish, Cornish
and Breton Stock, he can call on a rich tradition of North European
angst. Soutine is mentioned when people talk of influences, but the
artist himself would consider Egon Schiele or George Rouault nearer the
truth.
Perhaps George is described best by Gerald Davis, gallery
owner, writer and art correspondent: “His work exhibits a mastery that I
have only seen previously in the work of the late Jonathan Wade.
Allied to a quirky choice of subjects, he gives us a series of
idiosyncratic tableaux of enduring fascination. George is above all a
committed artist, he paints because he has to and, when we look at his
work we see not a sophisticated distillation of multiplicity of styles
of contemporary art, but a direct response to his own struggle with
life and his attempt to understand it. It is this deeply felt
involvement with painting and life that makes such work as this an
important part of the exciting renaissance in Irish Art through which
we are privileged to be living”.
