Neil Shawcross RHA RUA (b.1940)Still Life - Platter, Goblets, Jugs and Bottlesoil on boardsigned121 x 170½cm (47 x 66in) Private CollectionNeil Shawcross was born in Lancashire in 1940. He has been resident in Northern Ireland since 1962. Shawcross paints the figure and still life, taking a self-consciously childlike approach to composition and colour. He sources his still-life subjects from his surroundings, his home, local coffee shops and advertising. When representing a subject as simple as a cup and saucer or a bowl of fruit, Shawcross translates the mundane domesticity of this object into a painterly statement invested with character. Objects are demarcated by thick outlines in black or bold colour and the work is characterised by a remarkable control of medium. A noted colourist and technical innovator, his still-life's exude vitality and demonstrate a freshness of approach to this much loved theme which he has subjected to intense scrutiny over the years. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Ulster Academy of Art in 1975, and was made a full Academician in 1977. He won the Academy's Conor Award in 1975, its Gold Medal in 1978, 1982, 1987, 1994, 1997 and 2001, and the James Adam Prize in 1998.

William John Leech RHA ROI (1881-1968)Sketch in Grasseoil on boardsigned lower left24 x 18cm (9 x 7in) De Vere's, Dublin; Private CollectionWilliam Leech was born in Dublin in 1881. After attending St Columba´s school, followed by a year in Switzerland, he enrolled in 1899 at the Metropolitan School of Art. Transferring to the Academy Schools in 1900, Leech was taught by Walter Osborne and the following year, like many Irish art students of the time, he traveled to Paris, enrolling at the Academie Julian, where he studied under Laurens. Two years later, Leech was at Concarneau, in Brittany, painting mainly still life, interiors and harbour scenes. He used dark tones, in compositions where calm horizontals contrast with strong diagonals and verticals. In 1907 he exhibited at the Leinster Hall in Dublin, with two fellow students from the Academie Julien, Constance Gore-Booth and Casimir Dunin Markiewicz. Around 1908, a new sense of light and colour entered Leech´s work, and his exhibitions in London, such as that at the Goupil Gallery in 1912, were well received. He was elected a member of the RHA in 1910. In the decades following, while living mainly in England and the South of France, and rarely returning to Ireland, Leech still continued to exhibit at the RHA.
