Provenance

Seán McSweeney’s exquisite depiction of the shoreline and bog pools that surrounded his Sligo home are some of the most inventive and evocative landscape paintings of the last forty years. His profound understanding of the bogland, flora, tides and climate of this small corner of Ireland endow his paintings with an incredible, brooding power as if the paint itself was fused with the brackish water and the peaty film that floats on its surface. The gallery held several solo and group shows with Seán and are delighted to represent his work with this magnificent painting from 2003 as part of our 30th anniversary celebration.
