April 2006: Brendan Butler

"inscape"

"Drawing, Painting and Art itself has been a hugely significant part of my life from an early age and plays an integral part of who I am as a person."
In 2001 a young graduate of The Crawford College of Art & Design began a remarkable and deeply personal journey through the palette. Motivated from a compulsion to create images that explore the imagined landscapes of Ireland and beyond, Brendan Butler has spent the last number of years tenaciously refining a personal thesis that now culminates in this extraordinary collection of work. Butler’s total immersion in his practise over the years has brought with it a maturity and confidence rarely seen in such a young artist. Arthaven is delighted to unveil, for the first time, the work of Brendan Butler.
