Felim Egan Bordering (2012) Acrylic and mixed media on linen 76 x 76 cm Felim Egan was born in Ireland in 1952 and studied in Belfast and Portsmouth before attending the Slade School of Art in London. He spent a year at the British School at Rome in 1980 before returning to Dublin where he has since lived. He is known as a painter of restrained eloquence, who sparingly deploys a vocabulary of hieroglyphic motifs over monochromatic expanses of colour. His paintings are built up slowly with layers of thin colour applied to the surface and stone powder ground into the acrylic. Egan has exhibited widely across Europe with 54 solo exhibitions since 1979, including major shows at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, 1996, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, 1999. His art is displayed in both of these museums as well the Ulster Museum, Belfast; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the collection of the European Parliament. Major Commissions include; Dublin Castle; National Gallery of Ireland: O'Reilly Hall, UCD; Meeting House Square, Temple Bar; Pavilion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire; City Quay Building, Dublin; New Providence Wharf, London, and the National Gallery of Ireland. Felim has just completed a large scale public 'sculptural work' at Cork Street, Dublin, October 2005. www.felimegan.ie
