Irish Contemporary Artist: Val Byrne

A View From Aran

Hardened, stoic islanders stare out at the wilds of the Atlantic from a harbour on one of the three Aran islands off the coast of Galway in this expressive oil painting by Val Byrne.

The Aran Islands, which are remote, are at the mercy of many storms and dramatic weather conditions. When the weather closes in the islanders become isolated from the mainland as boats and planes cannot travel. Val Byrne succeeds in capturing the brooding darkness of the approaching storm and the steely grey of the seascape.

In addition to Red Rag Irish Art Gallery Val Byrne has exhibited at other leading Irish Art Galleries including the Royal Hibernian Academy. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Val Byrne artist studio and like all Red Rag Irish art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.

This painting by Val Byrne is now SOLD.
