On the eve of Jack B. Yeats’ 155th birthday, we celebrate one of the great figures of Irish art.

Painted in 1955, The Top of the Tide is particularly special — one of the final paintings to come out of Jack B. Yeats’ studio, two years before his death.

The painting also has a remarkable history, with provenance that includes the National Gallery of Ireland, New York and The Model, Sligo.

The Top of the Tide is now on view at The Oriel Gallery as part of our upcoming Jack B. Yeats exhibition, featuring over 15 paintings by the artist created over 46 years — from 1909 to 1955 during some of the most significant changes in Irish history.

A wonderful opportunity to see the evolution of Yeats’ work across almost half a century, from his earlier, more figurative paintings to the colour and expression of his final years.

Victor Richardson | Colour, Light & Life

There is something wonderfully uplifting about Victor Richardson’s paintings. They shimmer with colour and movement, capturing those fleeting moments when the familiar suddenly feels extraordinary.

You Can Never Hold Back Spring bursts with the irrepressible energy of a new season — colour pushing through everywhere, almost impossible to contain.

Alongside it, The Red Barge, Grand Canal turns a familiar Dublin scene into a tapestry of reflected light, dappled trees and brilliant colour.

Two very different paintings, but unmistakably Victor — joyful, vibrant and full of life.

Now on view at The Oriel Gallery, 17 Clare Street, Dublin 2.

FRESH & VIBRANT | DAVID COYNE

We know how great Dubliner David Coyne’s paintings look — but we also know how good they make people feel.

Full of colour, movement and that unmistakable Irish light, David’s paintings have an energy that can completely lift a room.

From the wild Atlantic coast to familiar Dublin streets, there is something wonderfully optimistic about his work. Fresh, vibrant and full of life.

A selection of new works by David Coyne is now on view at The Oriel Gallery, 17 Clare Street, Dublin 2.

David Coyne at The Oriel

There is something unmistakably uplifting about the work of David Coyne.

His paintings capture the Irish landscape at its most vivid — great expanses of sky, changing light, winding roads and flashes of brilliant colour, all painted with that wonderful sense of movement and optimism that has become so recognisably his own.

A beautiful new collection of works by David Coyne is now hanging at The Oriel Gallery.

Pop in and see them in person at 17 Clare Street, Dublin 2, or contact us for details of the available works.

The Art of Buying Art | Part Two

What is the story behind a painting?

Sometimes a painting becomes much more interesting when you know the story behind it.

Who painted it? Where were they? What were they trying to capture? Is there a particular place, person or moment behind the work?

Part of the pleasure of collecting art is discovering these stories — because once you know them, you may never look at the painting in quite the same way again.

The Art of Buying Art | Part One

What is the best piece of advice I can give someone thinking about buying art?

Look.

Visit galleries. See as much art as you can. Discover what catches your eye and, more importantly, what you find yourself coming back to.

Buying art should begin with what you love.

Over the coming weeks, I'll be sharing some of the questions I'm most often asked about buying, collecting and living with art.

Where We Belong is more than a collection of paintings—it's a reflection of the places, moments and memories that shape who we are.

Anthony Murphy captures the beauty of everyday life with remarkable sensitivity, inviting us to pause, reflect and reconnect with the familiar.

Bronze that tells a story.

From the power of a young foal taking its first steps to the quiet determination of the turf cutter, Liam O'Neill's sculptures celebrate the people, animals and traditions that have shaped Ireland.

Each piece is sculpted with the same energy and emotion that has made his paintings so highly sought after by collectors around the world.

Fresh from Liam O'Neill's studio...

There is always something special about welcoming new paintings by Liam O'Neill to the walls of The Oriel Gallery.

Few artists capture the power, colour and spirit of Ireland quite like Liam. Every painting is full of energy, movement and emotion, inviting you to step into the landscape and experience it for yourself.

This week's outstanding auction result is another reminder of the growing appreciation for Liam's work among collectors. While great art should always be bought because it speaks to you, it is wonderful to see the market recognise the quality of one of Ireland's most distinctive living artists.

For over three centuries, master colour makers in Paris have been handcrafting artists' pastels using techniques passed down through generations. Today, those same traditions continue to inspire contemporary artists like Anthony Murphy, whose luminous oil pastel works bring Irish stories, landscapes and literature to life.
