Evie Hone HRHA (1894-1955) Composition gouache on card 58½ x 46cm (23 x 18in) Taylor Galleries, Dublin 1984 (label verso); Collection of Finbarr & Moyra O'Donovan Evie Hone (1894 - 1955) was a Dublin born Irish painter and stained glass artist. She was related to Nathaniel Hone. Her most important works are probably the East Window for the Chapel at Eton College, Windsor, England (1949-1952) and My Four Green Fields, now located in Government Buildings. They were commissioned for the Irish Government's Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Like her companion Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone studied under Walter Sickert at the Westminster Technical Institute in London and worked under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes in Paris before returning to become influential in the modern movement in Ireland, she was one of the founders of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. Evie Hone was extremely devout; she spent time in an Anglican Convent in 1925 and converted to Catholicism in 1937. This may have influenced her in decision to begin working in stained glass. Initially she worked as a member of the stained glass co-operative An Túr Gloine before setting up a studio of her own in Rathfarnham, Dublin.

He returned to Dublin and launched his career in contemporary art, although he also spent time in London, living there for periods of time. In addition to creating art, he was a teacher at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, a founder and board member of the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin and a founding member of the Kilkenny Design Workshops.

Mark Francis (b.1962) Ventral (2003) oil on canvas signed & dated on reverse 86½ x 102cm (34 x 40in) Kerlin Gallery, Dublin (label verso); Private Collection Mark Francis was born in Northern Ireland in 1962 and studied painting at St. Martin's School of Art (1980-85) before going on to the Chelsea School of Art where he completed his Master of Arts in painting in 1986. Francis has exhibited internationally both individually and in group exhibitions. His work has had a strong association with science. Throughout his career his abstract paintings have continually been informed by the shapes, patterns and visual qualities found by his personal interest in mycology. It is through this abstract language that Francis initiated his platform in the early 1990s to become one of the UK's leading contemporary painters and maintains to be at the forefront of critical evaluation within art. Francis is often characterised by his wet-on-wet painting technique (a technique also used by Gerhard Richter in the 1960s) and his continuous use of grid formations that are present within his paintings. Francis' work is collected by numerous institutions and organisations that include the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the Tate and is represented by Kerlin Gallery.

He was largely self-taught, although he briefly attended Belfast College of Art life classes, before working with and studying under fellow Belfast artist Sidney Smith. He quickly developed an expressionist technique, and strong romanticism, with imagery, often full of pathos, evoking the themes of love, life and death. O'Neill's first exhibition was at the Mol Gallery in Belfast in 1941. In 1946 he sold 21 pictures out of 23 at an exhibition at the Waddington Galleries in Dublin and from then on exhibited regularly. In 1949 he visited Paris and was influenced by Georges Rouault, Maurice de Vlaminck and Maurice Utrillo. In 1951 his work was shown in the Tooth Galleries, London and he also exhibited there with Colin Middleton in 1954. In the 1950s, O'Neill moved from Belfast to Conlig, County Down, where there was a small artist's colony that also included George Campbell and Gerard Dillon. Along with Colin Middleton, Gerard Dillon and George Campbell he was one of a group of artists who respected each other's work and kept in touch over the course of their careers. He lived in London from 1958 to 1971. During his lifetime, O'Neill's works were primarily exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy. More recently, some of his paintings were shown at the Irish Museum of Modern Art as part of a 2005 exhibition of Northern Irish artists. His work is represented in many collections including the Ulster Museum, Queen's University Belfast and the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, Dublin.
