James Brohan
Born in 1952 in Dublin, James studied painting and anatomy, under Yann Gaoulet RHA, which taught him to 'look and observe' and Liam Treacy, who taught Brohan to use colour in a loose impressionistic way.
His paintings are about colour rather than tone and the essence of capturing the subtle nuances of light. Due to the increasing modernisation of an ever-changing Ireland his aim is to record the times he lives in.
Brohan's paintings are easily recognised by the rich and vibrant colour that he uses in a loose impasto fashion. Applied with a brush, his work reflects the mood, colour and light that inspire him to paint a wide range of subjects, such as boats, harbours, farm animals, and still life. In his figurative scenes he aims to capture a moment, a movement but most of all emotion.
