  • JOHN DOHERTY AT TAYLOR GALLERIES

    An exhibition by photo realist artist John Doherty has just opened at the Taylor Galleries at Kildare St. in Dublin.  “Recent Paintings” is his 11th solo show at a gallery which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.  Doherty’s images, which have proved to be popular in the salesrooms, point towards the human stories that exist behind the facades of places and things, and bring the past back to life.

    Born in Kilkenny in 1949 he studied architecture at Bolton St. before moving to Sydney to pursue a career as an artist.  He has shown widely in Ireland and Australia and his work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, the Institute of Modern Art in Chicago, the Irish National Stud collection, AIB Dublin and London and Artbank Sydney.  The show at Taylor continues until May 18.
