The theme of battles or conflict appear in the

artist’s oeuvre from the 1970s when titles such

as

1st Battle of Moytura

[solo show, 27 January

to 15 February, Studio 25, Belfast, c.1964] or

Battle Study

[Solo show, c.mid 1960s location

and dates not listed on catalogue] can be found

on examples exhibited by him.

Later, in 1992 at ‘John. B.Vallely’, Adam Gallery,

Armagh, 17-26 September, three further titles

demonstrate a continued interest in this theme;
