14 Nick Miller, b.1962 FROM KILRONAN TO HOME Oil on canvas, 66” x 84” (168 x 213.5cm), signed; signed, inscribed & dated 1998-2002 verso.
ick Miller was born in London in 1962 and moved to Ireland in 1984. He has been a member of N Aosdana since 2001. In 2014 Miller won the inaugural Hennessy Portrait Prize at the National Gallery of Ireland.
T his painting comes from the series known as ‘Truckscapes’; landscapes painted from the rear of a former electrical truck. Miller’s use of impasto and the study of the scene has allowed his work to be compared with impressionistic paintings but the emphasis in Miller’s work is on conveying the reality of the landscape; as Catherine Marshall has written ‘texture, the tangible physicality that drives the paint in an attempt to make reality, is more important than light and the sensuous thrill that accompanies the tactility of his trees and bogland is precisely what eliminates separateness’. This approach to painting places the viewer in an absolute true landscape.

Est. €8000 - 12000
15 Patrick Collins HRHA 1911-1984 BEYOND THE BOG (1966) Oil on board, 36” x 48” (91.5 x 122cm) signed, inscribed verso.
Provenance: Tom Caldwell Gallery, July 1979 (label verso).
T he importance of Patrick Collins lies in his successful struggle to be both international and local, embracing a modern approach to painting while at the same time drawing from indigenous sources. ‘Beyond the Bog’ is one of his earliest attempts to strip away inessentials and move dramatically towards a more minimal abstract approach. The painting is developed boldly with a few strong lines set against empty space. Characteristically, the composition pulls the eye towards to edges, rotating around a central point and electrifying the empty space. The painting works in purely abstract terms but is further enhanced by the electrifying empty space. Collins was always absorbed by the land but during the late ‘60s he frequently turned to the bog as a subject. It appealed to him because it was closely identified with Ireland and allowed him to experiment with very austere compositions. Here he brings the viewer right into the bog, with not so much as a trace of sky, buildings or trees. But rather than explicitly describing what he sees, Collins has condensed the moisture, mist and diffused grey light of the Irish countryside better than almost any other artist of his generation.

16 Felim Egan, b.1952 BOUNDARY Acrylic/wax/mixed media on canvas, 63” x 55” (160 x 140cm), signed & dated 1998 verso.

17 Peter Curling b.1955 HELL FOR LEATHER Oil on canvas, 24” x 60” (61 x 152.5cm), signed.
Peter Curling has long been regarded as Ireland’s finest equine painter. Having such a close involvement with horses and their training has given his work an authenticity which shines through and reflects in the appeal his work has to both the horse expert as well as the art lover. It is these paintings of the horse which are probably Peter’s most popular pieces and the atmosphere and subtle colour of horses in the soft Irish landscape are a constant source of inspiration.

30 Rowan Gillespie b.1953 JOY OF LIVING (1977) Alloy, 32” high excluding base (81cm), signed & dated 1977, ed. 1/6.
Est. €4000 - 6000
Rowan Gillespie, one of Ireland’s most important artists is probably best known for his iconic group of figures the Famine Memorial situated on Custom House Quay in Dublin. Numerous other public sculptures include the W.B. Yeats in Sligo, the Blackrock Dolmen, the Cashel Dancers, to name but a few, abound in Ireland . Now internationally known Gillespie was born in Dublin in 1953 to Irish parents, and spent his formative years in Cyprus. In 1970 he attended the Kingston College of Art. Following his studies at York and Kingston Colleges of Art he completed his studies at the Statens Kunstole in Oslo. Whilst there he lectured for three years at the Munch Museum, the famous Norwegian painter having a profound artistic influence on him up to the present day. Also influenced by the sculptor Henry Moore with whom he met whilst studying in England and encouraged by Moore, Gillespie went on to become a master technician in the field of casting using the lost wax method to cast, unassisted, all his own work, making him unique among the bronze casting fraternity. He has exhibited widely internationally, namely in the UK, USA, Holland , Lichtenstein and Scandinavia also completing major commissions in all of these countries. Recent commissions include a major sculpture for New York City, a commemorative sculpture in Tasmania and a superb memorial of Sir William Orpen to be situated in Dublin. In 2007 he was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Fine Art by Regis University in Denver Colorado.
31 Rowan Gillespie b.1953 AMBITION II (1976) Alloy, 26 ¼” high excluding base (67cm), signed & dated 1976, ed 2/6.
Est. €4000 - 6000
The two sculptures featured here are a prime example of Gillespie’s early work, now rare, and becoming increasingly desirable by collectors. Returning to live in Ireland in 1977 along with his young Norwegian wife Hanne, Gillespie’s work was of a highly personal vision, a theme that is often repeated in his work today. These two pieces, The Joy of Living (lot 30) and Ambition II (lot 31) convey this very personal part of his life, a joyous occasion, ambition and travelling hopefully into the future. Early promise is evident, where he was going with his life, a life that was to culminate in what was to become an outstanding and very successful career. Gillespie’s work remains a testament of versatility and consistency, highly personal to him. Allied with being a master technician his vision and expert technique will ensure his continued success in the world of sculpture. These two works are of great importance symbolising part of a much larger picture of his life. Now concentrating on site specific large work this is an opportunity to acquire a beautiful example by this renowned sculptor. Suzanne MacDougald, September 2015

Desmond Carrick on right
Desmond Carrick was elected a member of the RHA in 1968 and became one of the institution’s most eminent and active members. For forty-four years his paintings were a familiar sight on the academy walls, particularly during the annual exhibitions. In the late 1970s he acted as secretary for the Academy and he played a crucial role in facilitating the transformation of the old Academy site into the modern space it is today. He sat on various Academy committees and was central to the process of electing new members, as well as the coordination of the annual show, in which he exhibited since 1951. Carrick’s journey towards becoming an artist was gradual. He followed in his father’s footsteps with a career in the Guinness brewery from 1945 until 1977 but pursued his interest in art through classes at NCAD where Seán Keating and Maurice MacGonigal (both past presidents of the RHA) were his tutors. He won the coveted Taylor Scholarship in 1956; a prize which facilitated a trip to Spain and ignited a lifelong passion for light and colour. While continuing to work in Guinness his talents as an artist were recognised. Lord Moyne, director of the brewing company, became a patron and he was commissioned to paint a large mural depicting the brewing process for the company’s visitor centre in 1958. After his retirement from Guinness Carrick and his wife spent part of the year abroad in Southern Spain and in France. Much of the works painted on these sojourns were later submitted for exhibition in the RHA annual show or in various exhibitions with the Dublin Painters Gallery, Ritchie Hendriks Gallery, IELA, Oireachtas among others.
