Michael Farrell Prints for Sale

Micheál Farrell (Irish,1940-2000) made prints that encompass both abstract and figurative features, involving issues of nationalism, colonialism, sexuality, modern mythology and politics. Born in County Meath, Farrell trained in drawing and fine art painting at St. Martin's School of Art and Colchester School of Art. Returning to Ireland, he painted mainly abstract works often based on Celtic motifs. Later, in part as a reaction to the violence in Northern Ireland, he turned to figurative art as a more relevant genre in which to express his feelings artistically
