Brian Ballard
Brian Ballard has established a significant reputation
over the past thirty years and is one of the country’s leading
artists for investment, represented in Ireland’s major public
collections. His contemporary approach to painting alternates between
figurative treatment of nudes, and landscape to expressionistic still
life, all of which he practises in equal measure and intensity. This
trinity of genres has enabled a spontaneity of approach that has endured
for the artist in recent decades and yet within this diverse range of
output, each composition bears the instantly recognisable stamp of Ballard.
Brian Ballard is represented in a number of major public and private
collections including; Allied Irish Banks, An Chomairle Ealaion, Arts
Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast Education Library Board, CR Sugar
Trading Cork, Ulster Museum, Crawford Municipal Gallery, Great Southern
Hotels, Guiness Peat Aviation, Haverty Trust, National Trust, P.J. Carroll,
Royal Bank of Scotland, Salzburg Seminar, U2, Ulster Television and
Waterford Glass.
