RICHARD GORMAN
The death has taken place of the Irish artist Richard Gorman, primarily known for his abstract and colour field works. Kerlin Gallery, Dublin issued a statement saying: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Gorman. It is also with a deep sense of gratitude and joy that we celebrate the time we shared together. For over three decades, we have had the honour of knowing and working with Richard, an artist of integrity, intelligence and grace.”
Kerlin added: “Richard’s work is marked by a lifelong commitment to abstraction, craftsmanship and quiet innovation. His practice was rooted in looking – at landscape, at architecture, at the everyday rhythms of place – and transforming these observations into works of remarkable clarity and restraint. His paintings, sculpture and printmaking reveal a profound sensitivity to colour, structure and balance, shaped by years of travelling between Ireland, Italy and Japan.”
