I RISH & I NTERNATIONAL A RT A UCTION M ONDAY 30 TH A PRIL 2018 AT 6.00 PM 91 Charles Tyrrell (b. ) SWING (1989) signed, titled and dated ‘89 on reverse oil on board 120 x 120cm (47.24 x 47.24in) Provenance: Whyte’s, Dublin, 23rd February 2015, Lot 40; Private Collection One of Ireland’s foremost abstract artists, Charles Tyrrell makes works in series. His paintings are process-driven and the starting point is usually a symmetrical subdivision of the surface. Here diagonals divide a square into four right-angled triangles. There is some interplay between the areas but mostly each seems animated by its own internal energy: a four seasons, perhaps? Tyrrell is not a landscape artist, but it has been noted that his palette and textures became notably atmospheric following his move to the Beara Peninsula in 1984. €4,000-6,000 (£3,478-5,217)
