John Shinnors (b.1950) St. John's Night, Carraroe, Inishmor oil on canvas on panel signed lower right and titled on reverse 108 x 143cm (42.52 x 56.30in) Private Collection Limerick artist John Shinnors is justly celebrated for his inventive pictorial puzzles based on the most ordinary subject matter: mackerel laid out in the fishmongers counter, washing flapping on the clothes-line, Fresian cattle in a field, scarecrows, badgers, Loop Head lighthouse. Many of his chosen motifs share a monochrome, black-and-white palette. He prefers that colour, when he uses it, makes a point. It certainly does so in St. John's Night, Carraroe, Inishmor, which richly displays his expertise with shades of black and white and volcanic bursts of colour, and another trademark quality: an air of mystery and magic. St John's Eve, usually coincident with the Summer Solstice, is traditionally celebrated by communal bonfires, beacons in the night. Here, John Shinnors counterpoints the intense glow of the flames with a stark, elemental terrain, the bonfire in Carraroe with the forbidding sea-bound fortress of Inish Mór nearby. The dark shelf of the island's formidable cliffs juts out into the Atlantic waters, phosphorescent in the half-light of midsummer darkness. Midsummer mirrors midwinter in a fine example of pictorial drama. Aidan Dunne, March 2018.

Magic Lantern slides to include Scenes of Ecclesiastic nature. To include scenes from the bible and Hymns

A Large pair of Japanese Ivory TusksJapan, Meiji period (1868-1912)Each carved in sunk relief with a continuous scenes from the Kojiki, the first depicting Susanoo about to kill Yamata no Orochi, the second depicting Umisachi-hiko and Oogetsuhime emerging from the waves.Height 33.5 cmCatalogue note:Kojiki ("Records of Ancient Matters" or "An Account of Ancient Matters"), it is the oldest extant chronicle in Japan, dating from the early 8th century (711–712) and composed by ? no Yasumaro at the request of Empress Genmei. The Kojiki is a collection of myths concerning the origin of the Japanese archipelago, and the Kami. The myths contained in the Kojiki as well as the Nihon Shoki are part of the inspiration behind many practices. Later, the myths were re-appropriated for Shinto practices such as the misogi purification ritual.Umisachi-hiko (luck of the sea), in Japanese mythology and folklore, was a deity of the bounty of the sea and enchanted fisherman. He appears with his younger brother Yamasachi-hiko (Luck of the Mountains, Hoori) in the "Luck of the Sea and the Luck of the Mountains" episode. When the fish hook he lends to his younger brother is lost at sea, he demands its return rather than to accept any compensation. Later he is defeated and subjugated by his younger brother, who has obtained mastery of the tides with a magic jewel.Susanoo is the Shinto god of the sea and storms. He is also considered to be ruler of Neno-Katasu-Kuni (now Yasugi, Shimane-ken). He is the brother of Amaterasu, the goddess of the Sun, and of Tsukuyomi, the god of the Moon. All three were born from Izanagi, when he washed his face clean of the pollutants of Yomi, the underworld. Amaterasu was born when Izanagi washed out his left eye, Tsukuyomi was born from the washing of the right eye, and Susanoo from the washing of the nose. Susanoo used Totsuka-no-Tsurugi as his weapon. CONDITION REPORT In overall good condition, with minor crack to the base of one vase, the other with very minute losses.

[§] ALAN DAVIE C.B.E., H.R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1920-2014) CLASSICAL HEAD - SELF-PORTRAIT Signed and indistinctly dated '46 / '49, watercolour 37cm x 27cm (14.5in x 10.25in) Exhibited: Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh Note: Few British artists of the 20th century are quite an intriguing as Alan Davie. Low key and independent, Davie operated out with the art world 'scene' until his death in 2014 which means that, despite his popularity amongst critics and collectors, he isn't the household name he perhaps deserves to be. Born in Grangemouth, Scotland in 1920, Davie studied at the Edinburgh College of Art, developing a fascination with Continental artists including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. The quintessential polymath, his artistry encompassed jewellery-making, poetry and, most significantly of all, jazz music. He was an extremely talented musician and constantly sought to find ways to break down the boundaries of expression; seeking to literally convey music on canvas. The list of his friends and admirers is quite extraordinary given his lack of ego and choice to plough a furrow out of the limelight. He met and was admired by the great collector Peggy Guggenheim in Venice in the late 1940s and was close to members of the American Abstract Expressionist movement including Jackson Pollock. However, Davie gradually moved away from gestural expression to a more clarified vision, as shown in this fantastic example which is amply demonstrative of the complexity of his ideas. Taking reference points from a vast area of art history - Celtic, Buddhist, African, Hindi and Modernist to name but a few - he created a language of emblems and symbols with the aim of capturing the "mysterious and spiritual forces normally beyond our comprehension". Davie's esotericism and eccentricity earned him the reputation as something of a "shaman", a fitting title for an artist who sought to live his entire life as an exploration of the magic that underpins art, music and philosophy. The artist has had retrospectives at the Barbican, London, Tate St Ives and Tate Britain. He was appointed CBE in 1972 and elected a senior Royal Academician in 2012.
