Manus Walsh: Irish contemporary art, artist and paintings

Manus Walsh was born in Dublin in 1940. His first job was in a graphic studio. This was followed by a period at Abbey Stained Glass Studios, Dublin where his initial training began in the field of stained glass. During his time there Manus met the Irish Artist, George Campbell who encouraged him to pursue a full time career as an artist.

After spending a period of time in Spain, Manus had his first art exhibition in the Dublin Paintings Gallery, Stephen Green in 1967. Since Manus Walsh has had over 30 exhibitions and has exhibited in numerous group artist shows.

The Burren in Clare has had a major influence on Manus Walsh life and paintings, and he has produced many art works featuring this dramatic Irish landscape. Another influence on Manus Walsh paintings has been the city of Valparaiso in Chile. Walsh’s recent paintings have contrasted the colourful vertical kaleidoscope of Valparaiso, with the dramatic horizontal lines of the Burren.

In addition to Red Rag Irish Art Gallery Manus Walsh has exhibited at other leading Irish Art Galleries and art galleries overseas. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Manus Walsh artist studio and like all Red Rag Irish art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
