Robert Ballagh - Artwork

This collection of Giclée Prints are from the Tír is Teanga Collection (2001) by Robert Ballagh.

Part of a series of ten innovative paintings, these works are the artist's first full-scale meditation on the Irish landscape, a subject he had avoided for many years beacuse of what he percieved to be its often reactionary or escapist artistic overtones.  This series melds vistas of a harbour, a mountain, fog, night, a tree, an island, a fort and the ocean with panels incorporating literal elements from nature - gold leaf on pebbles and a limestone panel.

By using Gaelic titles and inscribing a traditional Irish proverb onto a section of each work, Ballagh is reclaiming an essential part of the Irish landscape.

Each print is one of a limited edition of ten and is numbered and signed by the artist
