Described by The Irish Times as “Ireland’s great forgotten painter”, this retrospective showcases O’Conor’s signature expressionist style, full of bold colours. Many of the pieces have not been displayed until now, perhaps due to his distrust of art dealers. O’Conor was popular amongst the avant garde scene, and surrealist André Breton was known to have bought some of his art. O’Conor’s work is on display alongside other well-known artists that were both his friends and collaborators such as Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Armand Seguin, Robert Befan and Cuno Amiet.
