Neville Johnson (1911-1999) Ordained Enigma (1992) acrylic on board signed lower right and dated '92 38½ x 34½cm (15.16 x 13.58in) Solomon Gallery, Dublin (label verso); Collection of Senator and Professor Trevor West of Trinity College and Charleston, Ballinacurra, Cork; By descent Neville Johnson was one of a number of progressive artists in Ireland championed by the art dealer Victor Waddington in his Dublin gallery from the late 1940s. While many of the others are still household names, it was Johnson's fate to be recurrently forgotten and rediscovered. A thoughtful, cerebral person, his earlier work showed a fine grasp of Italian metaphysical surrealism, and he went on to explore a succession of related modern styles with great skill. He is also known for his street photographs of Dublin in the early 1950s. His Enigma paintings see him look back on his own earlier works in a spirit that recalls the Analytical phase of Cubism.

Alan Davie (1920-2014) Scottish TKZ by Night (2012) oil on paper signed three times and dated 2012 26 x 29cm (10.24 x 11.42in) Gimpel Fils Gallery, London (label verso); Hillsboro Fine Art, Dublin (label verso); Private Collection A Scot by birth, Alan Davie was a jazz musician as well as a painter, a free creative spirit of amazing energy. Tapping into Abstract Expressionism early on, he was a hit in New York but initially met with incomprehension back in the UK. Major success did arrive, though fashions changed. There was a revival of interest in his work in the last ten years of his life and since. His exuberant inventiveness is fully apparent in this little, incandescent improvisation, which could refer to the South African house music group of that acronymic title.
