Star lot: A wonderful original Joe Moran (Irish, contemporary) oil on canvas painting titled "T.B.D." Depicts a striking abstract and textural composition in a palette of deep reds and blues. Known internationally for his sculptures, Moran also created a rare few paintings, the contrast with his three-dimensional works prove endlessly fascinating. This work in particular has a very sculptural feel, in both the rugged texture and high relief. His paintings are rare to the market, fetching in the high hundreds and his sculptures fetching in the mid thousands.
MM: 70 x 106 cm The Second image shows the artist with the painting.
Joe Moran became interested in art at an early age and began sculpting in 1970. He began showing his work at exhibitions around this time. The first sculpture was a crucifix made while working on Turlough Hill Power Station. This was made of washers, pieces of steel and welding rods. The cross attracted great criticism and controversy when placed on the altar of the site church. Moran's work since this time has tended to be more abstract. He uses materials such as bronze, steel, wax, clay, stone and polystyrene.
