KIllian McEvoy
Rostrevor artist, Killian McEvoy, started painting while at school in Newry, Co.
Down. As a young student he was frequently required to design posters for school
events and functions. Then he began winning art competitions. After obtaining an
Education Degree in Belfast, he embarked on a life-long teaching career in
Crossmaglen, in the 1970?s. Art featured prominently on his timetable, across the
curriculum.
He developed a preference for
oils, and is now painting
full-time, concentrating on local
area landscapes of The Mourne
Mountains and Carlingford
Lough. While taking part in a
number of group shows every
year, he has had some very
successful solo exhibitions in
The G.A.P. Gallery, Newry Library,
with the next major event
scheduled here for May, 2017.
Killian continues to work with oil
on board today. Sizes begin from
10 x 12 inches, and vary up to 20
x 24 inches (before framing). All
works are guaranteed original, by
94
the artist. He normally prepares a
painting with a suitably toned
background wash, gradually
building up layers with
brushwork. Then, using a palette
knife for close-up and
foreground detail, the painting
acquires a loose, textured and
personal trademark.
A variety of paintings have found
homes throughout Ireland, G.B.,
the U.S.A. and Europe. Secure
delivery to any address abroad
can be arranged. Reproductions
in the form of prints and
postcards continue to be
distributed world-wide.
