PIGSY Art off to new homes by PIGSY

PIGSY Paintings on the move

I know many of the readers of this blog are always interested to hear of sales of PIGSY paintings and to find out where they will be hung next. As I’ve written before, my work is in art collections all over the world in countries including Ireland, Spain, the UK, Singapore, Czech Republic and the USA. You can see many of the artworks that are now in private collections on this listing on my website.

Two paintings have sold in recent times and I am glad to give an update here.

“Marching in the Evening”

1145mm H x 1460mm W Mixed Media on Canvas

This piece was originally shown at PIGSY’s “Catharsis” show in Kenmare Butter Market.

After viewing privately in my art studio in Dublin, it was bought by an art collector who is based between London and Dublin, however the collector intends to hang this piece in his home in Dublin.

Many of the pieces in the Kenmare “Catharsis” show were based on or started with a piece of PIGSY punk poetry. This piece was no different!

I sit in the evening,
marching,
saying I am going to be great, and,
why can’t everyone else see what I see?
I wake in the morning seeing what they see.................
nothing.

“Vertical Garda”

550mm H x 460mm W Mixed Media on Canvas

It always amazes me how specific art works make a connection with a specific person and the right painting ends up in the hands of whoever is truly meant to be the owner. “Vertical Garda” is one of these pieces that serendipitously is with a collector in the USA now after being shipped from Ireland.

Private PIGSY Art Viewings

As mentioned above, I can show my art work privately in my home studio. If you are interested in any of my pieces, they can be searched on the PIGSY website and then you can contact me to have an in-person viewing of the pieces that you are interested in.

Upcoming exhibition in Gallery X by PIGSY

Group Show in Gallery X

The Cock & Pussy Manifesto

Currently I am working on my solo exhibition which opens in early October. My exhibition will consist of about 10 or 11 very large pieces. 

If you can't wait til October to see my work you get the opportunity to see a small piece I painted that is part of a group exhibition that is opening in Gallery X on the 31st of August. See details of the exhibition here. Curated by Gallery owner Giovanni Guisti who explains that the art show “is meant as an attack on the shame that society makes us feel about what he believes are our most important bits” it features artworks by numerous artists of the male and female form.

PIGSY working on an artwork - creating a custom frame

The above pic is of me at work on the piece that I will be exhibiting. I am fabricating a custom frame for the artwork. The piece is a a take on Polaroid photos of a nude Jean-Michel Basquiat with me as the subject matter, go figure!

Gallery X is on 65 South William Street and the exhibition titled “The Cock & Pussy Manifesto” runs from 31st of Aug to the 22nd of September.
