JUNE BRILLY
June Brilly was born in 1956 in Illinois, United States of
America and settled in Ireland in 1975 living in
Prosperous, County Kildare. She has been working fulltime as a professional artist since 1982 and has a firmly
established reputation among the Irish racing and
hunting fraternity.
She specialises in painting animals, particularly horses,
and has been commissioned to paint many racehourses,
International showjumpers, and eventers, but prefers to
paint behind the scene studies rather than traditional
portraits indeed the whole spectrum of country life. She
has had numerous successful exhibitions in Ireland and
abroad and her most recent commission was four large works for the Four Seasons Hotel,
Dublin.

OPENING UP THE FIELD
GERARD BYRNE
Born in Dublin in 1958, Gerard Byrne took an early
interest in drawing and painting, without any formal
training, he never attended art college. Gerard
developed a style of painting all his own, tackling
virtually any subject with tenacity, producing pictures
of vitality with daring perspective, colour and
individuality. He paints outdoors on a surprisingly
large scale, and in bad weather concentrates in his
studio on still life and figurative subjects.
He has had solo exhibitions in Dublin, Berlin and New
York from 1989 to the present and works by him are in
numerous public and private collections in Ireland and abroad. He had a successful one
man show here earlier this year and was included in the 20 Hot up and coming Irish
Artists to watch out for in ‘A Buyers Guide to Irish Art’, (Ashville Media Group).
