IRISH & INTERNATIONAL ART · 16 September 2019 AT 6PM 150 Victor Richardson (b.1952) WILLOWS AT ST. AUBIN oil on canvas signed lower right; titled and with Jorgensen Fine Art label on reverse 24 by 36in. (61 by 91.4cm) Provenance: Jorgensen Fine Art, Dublin; Private collection Victor Richardson lives and works in County Cork, and over many years he has developed a vibrant and highly distinctive style of landscape painting in the Neo-Impressionist tradition. He has exhibited widely in Ireland, the UK and USA and his work is in public and private collections all over the world. His biggest commission to date was to paint six large oils for the bar of the recently refurbished Shelbourne Hotel, one of Ireland’s landmark buildings. He carries on the exploration of colour vibration pioneered by Seurat over a century ago. Colour values are intensified by placing contrasting hues beside one another in a series of small dashes and spots. This tessellation produces a shimmering luminosity which makes his work instantly recognisable. He draws his inspiration from the play of light in the air and on the water of ponds, rivers and canals from England to the Low Country of the American South. Despite the busy surface texture, his work is tranquil, with an almost Zen like quality. His most recent exhibitions have been at The Oriel Gallery, Dublin. €4000-€6000 (£3,640-£5,450 approx.)
