Irish painter to exhibit at London gallery  Irish
painter Lucy Doyle is to become the latest artist to exhibit her collection
of works at the Barbara Stanley Gallery in London.
Famed for her use of vibrant colour, Doyle paints still life and interiors
with landscape elements.
She works in oils on canvas and board, applying thick paint with a palette
knife which she says prevents her becoming too absorbed with detail and
also helps to bring out the full texture and intensity of colour —
a hallmark of her work.
After winning a Wilkinson Scholarship, she graduated from Sheffield College
of Art with a degree in Painting and Printing.
In 1982 she returned to live in Ireland and now works from her studio
in the beautiful surroundings of Avoca in Co. Wicklow.
Her inspiration is drawn from a wealth of sources including ancient decorative
arts, Matisse and Bonnard.
Much of Doyle’s work is on public display at Trinity College Dublin
and in many public and private collections.
She also exhibits internationally in Stockholm, France and Italy.
In 1985 she won the Windsor & Newton Prize at the National Portrait
Exhibition in Dublin.
The latest collection on show is entitled Cerulean Dreams — conventional
in the moment perceived scenes as well as scenes from the subconscious.
The Barbara Stanley Gallery, which is located in Putney, is now widely
recognised as London’s only gallery solely representing Irish Contemporary
Art.
The exhibition opens on Thursday, February 7 and runs until Friday, February
29 at the Barbara Stanley Gallery, 279 Upper Richmond Road, London SW15.
