The Man with the Moving House
This is my portrait of musician Breanndán O' Beaglaoich, which was taken as part of a series of portraits of artists-in-residence at the Irish Cultural Centre, Paris. He’s featured in an upcoming RTE documentary 'The Man with the Moving House’, which documents Begley’s fifteen year battle with Kerry County Council to build a small traditional home in his ancestral village on the Dingle Peninsula. The film airs on Thursday, 25th August at 10.15pm on RTÉ ONE, and you can see more of my en résidence portraits here.

Congratulations to Cecilia Danell, who has been awarded the ESB Keating Award and Silver Medal for an Outstanding Art Work at this year’s RHA Annual exhibition. She’s also shortlisted for the RCSI Art Award, which will be announced in December. This image is an out-take from a portrait I was commissioned to make by the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris, which will be part of a semi-permanent exhibition of 18 portraits of artists-in-residence there from later this month. I’m really looking forward to seeing them up on the walls.
