Martin Gale
Born in Worcester, England, Martin Gale studied at NCAD and represented Ireland at the Paris Biennale in 1980. He has long favoured a form of post-modern hyper-realism which attempts to mimic yet also transcend photography, capturing with painstaking detail not just the fleeting moment but also "a bewildering wealth of impressions" and thereby demonstrating "the extraordinary in the prosaic" (Aidan Dunne, Contemporary Irish Art: A Documentation, Wolfhound Press, Dublin, 1982, p.16). www.whytes.ie
