Renowned artist Michael Mulcahy to exhibit his work at county Tipperary gallery

Cahir Arts Gallery

Renowned artist Michael Mulcahy will hold an exhibition in Cahir Arts Gallery that will launch next week on Friday April 4, 2025.

Michael’s first public exhibition was in 1981.

Within twelve years, in 1994 he had major national exhibitions at the Hugh Lane Gallery of modern art, Taylor galleries in Dublin, the Douglas Hyde Gallery and Trinity College, titled « Do-Gong » series.

As well as many more national exhibitions since, he has exhibited in London, Paris, Brussels and the Museum of Modern Art in Seoul.

Michael Mulcahy represented Ireland in the Sydney Biennale.

“Mulcahy is not only a traveller through the physical world” said the Art critic Dorothy Walker, “but a traveller through the psyche, his own and ours, a constant explorer and discoverer of unprecedented worlds.” 

Mulcahy has illustrated two books of poetry for President Michael D. Higgins, who says, “Michael Mulcahy is one of our very best artists. Some of his paintings are among my favourites.”  

“Mulcahy’s distinctive, expressive and vigorous art combined with rich colour, energy, and mystique, mark him as one of the most interesting artists of his generation.”  (Gemma Tipton, of Circa Art Magazine)

“Mulcahy’s vibrating pictorial rhythms and dynamic powers make his painting of international standard.” (The Irish Times critic, Brian Fallon wrote).

Come along to the opening night on April 4 from 6pm where a vibrant and expressive exhibition awaits you.
