Robert Ballagh
Robert Ballagh (born 22 September 1943) is an Irish artist. He
was born in Dublin and is both a painter and designer. His painting
style was strongly influenced by pop art and his paintings are often
playful and didactic.
Ballagh represented Ireland at the 1969 Paris Biennale. Among the
theatre sets he has designed are sets for Riverdance, Samuel Beckett's
Endgame (1991) and Oscar Wilde's Salomé (1998). He has also
designed over 70 Irish postage stamps and the last series of Irish
banknotes, "Series C", before the introduction of the
euro. He is a member of Aosdána.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
