Paris match for West Kerry artist
Liam O'Neill to exhibit in French capital

One of the county's most celebrated artists, West Kerry man Liam O'Neill, is set to take the European art world by storm this Spring as as prepares to unveil a new collection of work in Paris. Details of the exhibition were announced this week which will take place at the Greenlane Gallery-Paris between February 9th and 29th. Dingle native Susan Callery is the gallery's curator and owner and the Parisian location is the sister gallery of Greenlane-Dingle, where some of Ireland's leading artists, including Pauline Bewick, have shown their works. Considered by many art critics as one of Ireland's most talented and sought after contemporary artists, Liam's Parisian exhibition will focus largely on his unique figurative work, including large portraits of Irish writers such as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Brendan Behan and Oscar Wilde. After Liam's showing in Paris his exhibition continues at Greenlane Gallery- Dingle with some large scale oils of his home place Corca Dhuibhne (West Kerry) from March 8th to the 20th.
