Of Byrne's first solo exhibition in ‘89, The George Gallery Director Susan Stairs wrote, “Gerard Byrne is a dedicated, prolific and exceptionally talented artist. This exhibition is, therefore, a stimulating and profound beginning to what will be a long and significant career.”

Over three decades later, her words prove prophetic. Byrne has become Ireland’s leading modern Impressionist, and this year, we celebrate 35 years of his remarkable journey as a practicing artist.

This exhibition includes recent paintings that represent the culmination of 35 years in painting: vibrant plein air, dynamic botanical and figurative works, iconic Irish seascapes, and serene still-lifes. Plus, on view for the first time since ‘89, three early paintings.
