Ciaran O'Sullivan (born 1975) is a contemporary Irish painter. He began as an abstract expressionist painter, but his work has evolved to more figurative works with a particular emphasis on portraiture. Early life and educationO'Sullivan studied initially at the National College of Art and Design[1] and finished his education at the Limerick School of Art and Design, finishing in 2000.[2] CareerAfter working in Dundalk, for six years teaching art, O'Sullivan returned to Limerick where he was a member of Contact Studios for six years. He has been a portrait artist for twenty years, but later moved into life painting, combining non-traditional techniques, including dripping paints, splats and blobs of paint, scraping, scratching as well as more conventional painting methods into a complex layering process. He also works with various transparencies and glazes, drying at different rates to achieve a contrast of textures. Amongst these textures and colours, sometimes hidden, sometimes not, are figures within the scene. Each piece has its own mood or theme but the interpretation of such is often left up to the viewer.[2] He has a number of works in both private and public collections, including the County Louth Municipal Collection,[3] the Law Library Collection (Dublin) and he had a piece acquired by the Irish Contemporary Arts Society which they donated to the Butler Gallery Collection, Kilkenny. O'Sullivan's paintings were displayed in a solo exhibition at the Basement Gallery of An Táin Arts Centre in 2008 and again in 2014.[4][5] In 2014 O'Sullivan's painting So Early, So Tired won best in show award by Gateway to Sedona.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Ciarán O'Sullivan, So Early So Tired.|url=http://www.createlouth.ie/the-collection/ciaran-osullivan-so-early-so-tired-2014/|publisher=Create Louth}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Osullivan, Ciaran}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title='Double Back' opens|url=http://www.independent.ie/regionals/argus/news/double-back-opens-30540144.html|publisher=Irish Independent}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Ciaran O’Sullivan, Spirited.|url=http://www.createlouth.ie/the-collection/ciaran-osullivan-spirited-2008/}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Minister to attend Tain triple launch|url=http://www.independent.ie/regionals/argus/entertainment/minister-to-attend-tain-triple-launch-30521927.html|publisher=Irish Independent}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=The Argus - Arts prog launched|url=http://www.pressreader.com/ireland/the-argus/20140903/283742722365725/TextView|publisher=NewspaperDirect}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=August 2014 Winners|url=http://www.gatewaytosedona.com/awards/winners/item/621-art-contest-winners-august-2014|publisher=Gateway To Sedona|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151002190825/http://www.gatewaytosedona.com/awards/winners/item/621-art-contest-winners-august-2014|archivedate=2015-10-02|df=}} 5 : Irish painters|Contemporary painters|1975 births|Living people|Alumni of the Limerick School of Art and Design |
