Captures the Beauty and Wonder of Nature

Eamon Colman was born in Dublin in 1957 and he now lives and works in Kilkenny. He is one of Ireland’s most popular and critically acclaimed contemporary painters. Through the use of bright, bold colours and abstractions of trees or other vegetation, Colman’s paintings capture the beauty and wonder of nature.

As Brian McAvera states in his essay for the Catalogue accompanying Colman’s “Africa” exhibition at the ——- Gallery: “ a whole panoply of signs amd symbols emerge from the often succulent colour. Interior and exterior space, the cusp of a breast shape, the erections of a phallic shape, dark underpinnings of shadowy black, a rinse of magenta, a world which nature in the shape of tree or rock, vegetation or the depths of blue-eyed water, all seem to exist in some slippage between the real world and the imagined world.”

Colman’s work is found in important private and public collections including Allied Irish Bank, Bank of Ireland, Smurfit Collection, Arts Council of Ireland, Contemporary Irish Art Society, Citibank, Fyffes, Delta Airlines, Danish Arts Council, KPMG, American Express, Royal Victoria Hospital, Irish Life, Deutsche Bank, Norwich Union, Vermont Studio Centre and many others.
