My Stylised portrait of Nora Barnacle and James Joyce is included in the book ” Modern Ireland In 100 Artworks”. My painting is reproduced in the chapter dedicated to Ulysses.

In 2016 The Canadian Fashion House, Dolcezza Montreal, invited John to create 2 paintings for their limited edition 2016 Fall collection “Art Simply by Dolcezza”. The 2 paintings,” Homage to Picasso” and “Magenta Flowers” are reproduced on their garments and scarves.

    

The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation have launched what will be the biggest Pigs on Parade and public arts initiative to take place in Dublin in January 2015!

John was invited to paint one of the pigs. His chosen theme is LOVE – ” 50 Shades Of Love “.

He painted the word love in over 50 different languages on various colourful heart shapes.Inspired by the rich cultural mix in modern Ireland, what better word and motif is universally understood and cherished … all you need is love. More details to follow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL…..
