Visual Arts Special: Green Gallery

Green Gallery OPened in 1995 and celebrating its 24th anniversary, the Green Gallery now houses a hugely impressive collection of art from Irish-based artists. With work ranging from realism through to landscape and abstract paintings, the gallery is optimally located at the top of St Stephen’s Green Centre, and is open seven days a week. Passionate about music as well as art, owner and director Dermot O’Grady has a number of paintings of music legends, including Rory Gallagher, Phil Lynott/Thin Lizzy and U2, by painters such as Mark Baker, Glenn Matthews and Jim Fitzpatrick. Moreover, the gallery holds a number of limited edition prints of David Bowie, captured by celebrated music photographer John Rowlands – who also photographed Elvis and Rod Stewart. Rowlands’ other much sought after prints are available by request. Especially for music aficiandos, the Green Gallery is among the best places to source unique and beautiful works of art.
