Felim Egan
Born in Inis Eoghain, County Donegal, Egan studied in Belfast and Portsmouth before attending the Slade School of Art in London. In 1980 he spent a year at the British School at Rome before returning to Dublin where he lived and worked in Sandymount Strand. His paintings are formally abstract using large expanses of monochromatic colour, yet his application of the paint often gives them the appearance of being landscapes. www.whytes.ie He began to exhibit during the late 1970s and had exhibitions throughout Europe including major shows at the lrish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin,1996 and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, 1999. He gained a considerable international reputation. In 1981 he represented Ireland at the Xie Biennale de Paris and in 1985 at the San Paulo Bienal. Egan won the Premier UNESCO Prize for the Arts in Paris in 1993 and two years later he was awarded the Gold Award at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Egan is represented in numerous collections, both public and private, including those of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Deutsche Bank, London and the European Parliament. www.whytes.ie
