Haria series, a suite of carborundums by Tony O’Malley.

Tony O’Malley 1913-2003, is celebrated as one of the major figures in Irish 20th Century Art. O’Malley was remarkably open and eager to experiment with various forms of expression in different media. He created a large body of original prints at Graphic Studio Dublin over many years through the studio’s visiting artist programme. His most chosen mode of expression at Graphic Studio being carborundum – a printmaking method often favoured by painters, that is capable of capturing painterly gestural movement, texture and brush strokes. Tony O’Malley’s lyrical carborundum pieces are deeply connected to the landscape, capturing the character and rhythm of nature. His gestural forms transcend physical representation, portraying a place not only as it is seen but as it is felt and remembered—an essence that goes beyond the visible.

Images: Haria I, II & III.
Framed size approximately 71x60cm each.
