SUMMARY:I can buy myself flowers | Tom Byrne at The Séamus Ennis Arts Cent
 re
DESCRIPTION:ART EXHIBITION – TOM BYRNE\nTitle: “ I can buy myself flowe
 rs”.\n\n5th August-30th September\n\nTom Byrne\, born in Dublin in 1962\
 , is an Irish artist known for his diverse range of work\, including portr
 aits\, landscapes\, and abstract pieces\, often exploring themes of Irish 
 history\, culture\, and spirituality. He studied at Dun Laoghaire College 
 of Art and Design and later in Berlin\, drawing inspiration from the Bauha
 us tradition\, Irish writers like Samuel Beckett and James Joyce\, and con
 temporary issues. Byrne is also recognized for his involvement in the punk
  movement\, which influenced some of his early work\, including album cove
 r designs and street art. Tom was commissioned to do portraits by Hollywoo
 d filmmaker Elizabeth Banks\, Matthew Rhys and Kerri Russell. In 2018\, he
  was commissioned to create a piece for Pop Francis’s visit to Lithuania
 \, which now hangs in the Vatican. . Tom Byrne's style is very unique\, he
  creates luxurious textures in nuanced\, lush layers of paint and structur
 ed layers of colour\, mediated by his own aesthetic experiences. Swirls of
  jewel-like colours transcend opaque\, opulent washes of tone. Furthermore
 \, he utilizes wax to create a luminous tangible surface which creates a m
 ulti-sensory experience\, engaging the viewer not just on a visual level\,
  but through a tactile experience as well.
