Born in Dublin in 1957, Joe Dunne was awarded a diploma in Design
at NCAD. He has had solo exhibitions throughout Europe since the
early 1980s and has exhibited at the RHA Annual Exhibition since
1982. He was awarded a Silver Medal in 1986 and won the highly acclaimed
Niccolo Caracciola RHA Award in 1993 and 2001. His most recent solo
exhibition at the Ashford Gallery, RHA, Dublin, although not a retrospective,
did contain works which represented the artist's concerns since
his last solo exhibition in 1990. In the artist's own words, his
paintings "often have a domestic, everyday life starting point"
with which, using the elements of composition, he tries to establish
"a pictorial harmony". |
