Paul Christopher Flynn

Paul Christopher Flynn was born in 1963 in Dublin. After studying at the N.C.A.D., he moved to the United States in 1986, remaining there for seventeen years. In 2003, he returned to Ireland and it was a chance encounter with one of the artists at the ‘Peoples’ Art Exhibition in Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green, which convinced him to resume painting after a twenty-year lapse.
Following numerous successful group and solo shows Flynn decided to become a full time artist in August 2005.
In September of 2007, Flynn opened his first solo exhibition outside Ireland, showing sixty paintings in three separate venues over three weeks in Beijing. Opened by the Irish Ambassador to China and attended by senior figures in China’s diplomatic, political, cultural and business communities, has placed him firmly on the international stage.
Flynn has exhibited throughout Ireland, in the U.S.A., and Beijing. His work appears in several high profile private and corporate collections, including actor Colin Farrell, The Office of Public Works, Microsoft, Chevrolet and Jacobs.
“I believe images are part of a continuing exploration of memory, both actual and racial – an evocation, rather than a description of physical presence, a memory of things that predate language. It is my wish for these paintings that each finds a viewer who can see something of his or her own journey in the image.” – Paul Christopher Flynn
