Gavin Lavelle

Gavin is a graduate of Fine Art painting from the National College of Art and Design whose style has evolved considerably over the years.  Gavin creates his collages using acrylic paint on gesso-prepared paper or wood, his imagery comes from a variety of sources including maps, bird books, botanical and historical sourcebooks, and catalogues.  He also uses glitter and vintage jewellery and any number of found objects such as painted twigs and bones.  His collages fuse the familiar with historical and imagined scenarios to recreate alternative possibilities for the viewer.

Gavin’s artwork is remarkably lush, his colours almost Fauvist but throughout you can see the West of Ireland peeking through, the blue sky, the cold water, the rugged landscape of Connemara.  It is a real joy to study his work, full as they are of strange beasts, dinosaurs, flying fish, strange flora and fauna, images from history, myth and the imagination. His pictures are poetic, a paean to a rich culture, a melting pot of ideas.

Gavin’s work is also represented in a number of prestigious galleries in Ireland and London. His paintings have been selected by the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, the Royal Ulster Academy, Belfast and the Royal West of England Academy, Bristol.
