Liam O’Neill – Sheridan’s Horses

Following on from Liam O’Neill’s prodigious show at The Merrion Hotel, Dublin which featured some of the largest works of art the artist has ever created.  Liam’s painting entitled Sheridan’s Horses originally purchased here at The Oriel Gallery sold at a recent Dublin auction for €35,000 on the hammer.  With commission and added charges the total price paid was in the regain of €43,000.

The painting which was 30 x 20 inches (76.2 x 50.8cm) is just one of the artists’ truly sought-after works featuring majestic noble horses, galloping through the West Kerry landscape.  Liam has painted some of Ireland’s most famous horses but the ones pulling carts, graze in the fields or galloping through landscape genuinely reveal the beauty of his work.

In the past 40 years, Liam has had numerous one-person shows in Dublin, London, Paris, New York and San Francisco.
