Colin Watson’s Biography Born 1966

Colin Watson is one of the purest young artists to have emerged from Ireland in recent years. The seeming simplicity of his work, however, belies the powerful intellectual effort which has gone into its creation. He comfortably straddles artistic divides; between formalism and symbolism, figuration and abstraction. While some other Irish painters of his generation have explored the world of dream and myth, Colin takes the humdrum, the everyday and seeks to give it stability and generalized significance without recourse to extraneous interpretation.
