In the Land of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is King

Summer-2015

Description

How to paint a recession…? a Galway artist gives it his best shot - and gets a whole lot off his chest in the process!

In a major new satirical work Galway painter Mike Flannery features all of the players in our National drama of the last number of years, and includes more symbolism than you can shake a stick at, in his powerful new work entitled “In the Land of the Blind the One-Eyed Man is King”. Better known for his large seascapes, Flannery here commits to canvas a fanciful and chaotic scene of demonstration and spectacle. He has been personally moved to join various recent public demonstrations, and he here vents his ire in paint.

Included are humorous and clever caricatures of members of Dáil Éireann, the Troika, Journalists, Bankers, among others.
