Richard Gorman

b. 1946, Dublin, Ireland

Gorman was educated in Ireland at Trinity College, Dublin and Dun Laoghaire School of Art and Design, but has lived and worked in Milan since the 1980s. He has exhibited widely since the mid 80s, especially in Dublin, London, Milan and Tokyo. Recent shows include Itami City Gallery of Art and Mitaka City Art Foundation in Japan in 1999, the Koriyama Museum, Japan in 2003 and The Drawing Centre New York.

Frequent and extended visits to Japan have notably influenced his working methods and materials with boldly simplified, irregular blocks of colours prominent in his work, a digression form his earlier interest in the line, and before that work which showed traces of figuration. His interest is now focused on exploring the abstractions of colour and form.

Gorman is represented in many collections both public and private in Europe, the UK, Ireland and Japan.
