Liam O’Neill: Artist
Liam O’Neill is among Ireland’s foremost contemporary artists. Born on Corcha Dhuibhne, West Kerry, Ireland his paintings and sculptures depict the west coast, it’s harbours, musicians, horse fairs, fishermen and famous figures he meets every day there.
‘‘I paint that which makes this area unique, the special views: Brandon, the Blaskets, and The Three Sisters. They are the backbone of the place, from which it takes its structure. They are powerful symbols. And then there are the fields, the walls, the people and the animals”.
Liam wrote his book Riastáil in his native Irish, drawing on memories of his childhood in Corca Dhuibhne, West Kerry, during the 1950s and 60s.
