Breon O'Casey (1928-2011)BatherBronze, 77cm high (30¼)Signed with initials Edition I/VProvenance: With The Peppercanister Gallery, DublinBreon O’Casey was born in London in 1928, the son of famous Irish playwright Seán O’Casey and actress Eileen O’Casey. He studied art at the Anglo-French centre from 1948 to 1950 and then helped support himself as an artist by working as an assistant to sculptors Denis Mitchell and Dame Barbara Hepworth at St Ives in Cornwall for a few years. The famous American-born sculptor Jacob Epstein was one of his teachers and he never forgot his advice which was to ‘persevere - it’s the only way’. Since then, Breon O’Casey has persevered, at painting, sculpting and jewellery making - the latter activity to subsidise his art practice and to keep food on the table when rearing his family. He has since emerged as both an abstract and figurative painter of distinction with an individual colour sense, derived from patterns and forms in the landscape beside his rural home in Penzance. He has also come to the fore as a sculptor in bronze of real imaginative power and originality, shaking off early inspiration from ethnic art to forge a unique vision that has grown more distinctive with age. He has been the subject of a number of books by art critics and has shown extensively in Britain, Ireland and the USA. His major bronze sculpture ‘Ean Mór’ was purchased by the Office of Public Works and placed in the grounds of Farmleigh House in the Phoenix Park.
