Sunbathing

25″(63cm) x 25″(63cm) – measurements include the frame

Original oil painting by celebrated Limerick artist ‘Gillian Kenny Shinnors’.

‘Sunbathing’ – one of life’s special moments, depicted vividly in oils by this extraordinary artist.

Taking her inspiration from the ‘affectionate nostalgia’ of the past; of being on holidays in the West of Ireland – old postcards, sunny days on the beach, the environment, the architecture of the time, the attire, the people – and all these memories being skilfully painted in oils using a colour palette that nods to the really distinct colouration of early Kodachrome photography. Her ability to depict these seemingly every-day moment’s so beautifully and with such a raw, contemporary edge, is remarkable.
