Irish Artists to Discover...

3/18/2020

0 Comments

 
I'm happy to be featured in Singulart Magazine's "5 Irish Artists to Discover"...
​

'In light of the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, Singulart would like to highlight five Irish artists whose art inspires and touches us. This national holiday celebrates the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, but celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Inspired by the festivities, we highlighted the portfolio of five artists hailing from the Emerald Isle. Discover nostalgic landscapes, self-questioning portraits and powerful abstracts.'

Kirstin McCoy
« Layer by layer, colour by colour, I paint the essence, spirit, and energy of the world around me. »


Kirstin McCoy is an Irish painter who lives and works in the South of France. Influenced by the Impressionists, Expressionists and Fauvists, her canvases capture the wonders of nature, flora and fauna, under the brilliant “southern light”. This is coupled with seascapes from the blue waters of the Mediterranean sea.
​

McCoy employs both palette knives and brushes to achieve her painterly surface. This energy and dynamism is paired with a vivid colour palette to capture the essence, spirit and energy of the world around her. She believes in the expressive power of colour, taking her inspiration from the likes of Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh and David Hockney.

Pleased to see my painting “Pilgrim Path" is the featured artwork at Saatchi Art Gallery for St Patrick's Day...

'Croagh Patrick Mountain is a place of ancient history—the tradition of pilgrimage to St Patrick’s sacred mountain stretches back over 5,000 years and Kirstin McCoy's oil painting beautifully captures the pilgrim's path to it. Happy St Patricks Day!'

White Lotus

2/15/2020

0 Comments

 
This is a favourite artwork of mine, it's an oil painting on canvas of a beautiful white Lotus flower. The darker colours of the pond contrast the brighter lotus flower creating a wonderful atmospheric ambience. Layers of paint have been added creating a very subtle and unique rich finish.

The Lotus flower in different cultures symbolises different things, however all share the core theme of beauty, eloquence and purity.

The flower is linked to Hinduism, Buddhism, and the ancient Egyptian’s religions...

The ancient Egyptians used the plant extensively as a symbol in their paintings and carvings and for them it represented rebirth. Hindu religious leaders used the flower as a symbol of peace and eternity. In Buddhism the Lotus also represents spiritual development and awareness.

READY TO HANG: The edges of the canvas are painted white so this painting is ready to hang without framing if required.

Pantone 2020 Colour of the year

1/22/2020

The Pantone Colour of the Year for 2020 is 'Classic Blue' a favourite colour of mine...

'Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era...

Classic Blue... a timeless and enduring hue elegant in its simplicity. Suggestive of the sky at dusk, the reassuring qualities of the thought-provoking'... 
Evening Light
'We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on... Imbued with a deep resonance, Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking; challenging us to think more deeply, increase our perspective and open the flow of communication.

Imprinted in our psyches as a restful color Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge. Aiding concentration and bringing laser-like clarity Classic Blue re-centers our thoughts. A reflective blue tone, Classic Blue fosters resilience.'
Beach, Wild Atlantic Way
'As technology continues to race ahead of the human ability to process it all, it is easy to understand why we gravitate to colors that are honest and offer the promise of protection. Non-aggressive and easily relatable, the trusted, Classic Blue lends itself to relaxed interaction. Associated with the return of another day, this universal favorite is comfortably embraced.'

London Calling

10/27/2019

Eight of my London artworks are featured in a new curated collection called 'London Calling' at Singulart Gallery, Paris....

"This modern metropolis has inspired artists for centuries with its distinct dynamism and ever-evolving urban landscape. 

London is certainly a city of contrasts, and the iconic skyline is a testament to this, with buildings such as St Paul's Cathedral standing proudly against a backdrop of glistening skyscrapers. Constantly changing and advancing, the city is an exciting place for artists wanting to harness this vibrancy and movement in their creations. 

Singulart's artists are capturing London's rich cultural heritage and electrifying energy in this latest collection."
