Ronan Walsh is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on May 15, 1958 in Dublin, Ireland.
Walsh graduated early from NCAD in 1984, having been skipped two years due to a number of previously well-regarded exhibitions in Dublin and the Netherlands that received support from the poet Edward James. During his time at college he was tutored by the artist Sean Scully. Between 1984 and 1988 Walsh was closely involved with Temple Bar Gallery and Studios and Project Arts Centre in Dublin, exhibiting at both and locating his studio at the former. In 1987 he was elected Chairman of Independent Artists, founded by his father in 1959 as an alternative to the more conservative Royal Hibernian Academy. In 1987 he also organized art classes and exhibitions with the Simon Community for the homeless. During the late eighties Walsh exhibited with “Le Nouveau Crie Artists Association” at Le Centre Culturel et Aerospatiale in Toulouse, France and in Ghent, Belgium. During this time he also exhibited at the Project Arts Centre in Dublin. In 1988 Walsh was chosen to represent Ireland at Art Junction in Nice, France. Walsh held several exhibitions in the nineties, primarily in North America, including shows at the Jadite Galleries in New York and at Bond Latin Art in San Francisco. He also exhibited in Toronto and in Taylor Galleries in Dublin. Walsh has also taught art in Canada over several years.
Walsh first exhibited paintings at the age of seventeen, drawing attention both from the Irish Times and the Irish Independent. His early work, primarily landscapes with people, possessed the lyrical, semi-abstract, slightly Surrealist aesthetic that could then be seen in the contemporary work of older Irish artists such as Patrick Collins, Louis le Brocquy and Walsh’s own father, the artist Owen Walsh. Subsequent to graduating from NCAD, the setting and the aesthetic of the paintings begins to change. The semi-abstract, pastoral landscapes are replaced with more figurative depictions of urban settings; the early romantic lyricism gives way to a harder-edged Expressionist style articulated through thick, heavily textured paintwork and the utilization of found objects. At this time, ‘his handling of paint is raw, his approach is physical and aggressive,’ But Walsh’s style was not traditionally Expressionist: ‘actually there is very little of the archetypal German Expressionist about Walsh, his use of colour is more comparable to the French.’ Towards the end of the eighties, Walsh becomes affiliated critically with the Neo-expressionist and Transavantgarde movements in Europe. The shift from abstraction “towards figuration and greater realism becomes most pronounced in the 1990s, a decade in which Walsh also shifts his focus from the urban to a more natural setting of forests and beaches.
