PIGSY "Homecoming" in Ireland's Homes Interiors & Living
Patrick O’Herlihy writes about PIGSY’s “Homecoming” in Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living
After spending a year painting in Malaga, I was delighted that my homecoming to Ireland was featured in “Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living”. Edited by Margaret Connolly, it is Ireland’s largest selling interiors magazine for 26 years.

“PIGSY” is photographed by Pablo Asenjo in his studio in Malaga City Centre in the La Casa Amarilla Gallery. He is surrounded by his neo-expressionist artworks that he created while in Spain.
The featured PIGSY art work is “I’ve Given Enough” which is an enquiry into the sport of bullfighting and within the painting the bull, the main protagonist, is armed with a gun in it’s mouth in order to level an unequal scenario and to allow the bull have enough force to exert a win in what PIGSY believes is an unfair fight. He explains that comparisons can be drawn between society now being armed with a vaccine which will bring about an end to the pandemic.
