Gerry Glynn
Gerry Glynn, born in Dublin, developed a keen interest in drawing, painting, and sculpture from a young age. Although he spent a brief period at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Glynn is predominantly self-taught. He established his unique style in oil painting, initially influenced by classic sculpture, the surrealists, and later by the Impressionists.
Glynn excels in various painterly subjects, including street scenes, still life, landscapes, and seascapes. He is known for his distinct style, which is uniquely his own.
Throughout the 1980s, Glynn gained recognition by winning seven top awards in National and International Art Competitions for drawing and painting, including his magic realist piece ‘The Ninth Hour’. He also received accolades in National Portrait Competitions. In addition to his painting career, Glynn worked in animation, focusing on background design, layout, and rendering.
His works are held in the collections of the Department of Defence, NTMA, Castle Leslie in Co. Monaghan, and can be found in collections across Ireland, Europe, the United States, Australia, and Japan. His art has been sold through auctions and acquired by several television and sports personalities. Glynn is listed in Whyte’s Buyer’s Guide to Irish Art and was a finalist in the Uniquely Dublin exhibition held at the Little Museum of Dublin in 2013.
