Today’s featured Irish Artist at the Red Rag Gallery is Hugh O’Rourke
Aodh Sean O'Ruairc (Hugh Sean O'Rourke) is an art graduate of the famous Glasgow School of Art. As a student Sean won the prestigious MacLaine-Watters Medal at the Royal Scottish Academy's Student Competition in 1977 and in 1978 won First Prize in the Watercolour section in the John and Mabel Craig Bequest Fund Competition at Glasgow School of Art.
Hugh Sean O'Rourke art work captures the tranquility and natural beauty of remote Scottish and Irish landscapes, with indications of man's involvement in the vistas. His empathy with the Connemara and Western Highlands is very evident in his paintings. A colourist at heart, Sean’s imaginative use of colour helps draw the viewer into the depths of the composition.
Hugh O’Rourke’s Modern Art is available from the Red Rag Bath Art Gallery
