Details: John Shinnors is, without doubt, in the first rank of Irish painters. This book follows the slow but constant development of Shinnor’s career, from the early evidence of his technical competence and his decisive shift from a surreal to an abstact style, to the origins and use of the motifs for which he is now so well known. John Shinnors talks of growing up in Limerick and attending the art college there, of his interest in music and his time in London. He comments on his early work and that crucial shift in perspective which became the foundation of his abstract style. He talks about the motifs in his work, his use of colour, and the locations which have inspired him. Shinnors’ style has steadily become more homogeneous, more austere, and more coherent, though still, broadly speaking, with an anchor in the now-familiar black-and-white contrasts.
