Michael Kane
Since the early 1960s, Michael Kane has been considered one of Irelands most challenging and innovative artists. He first exhibited with the Hendriks Gallery in Dublin, before moving on to The Project Arts Centre of which he was a founder, Emmett and Lincoln Galleries, and later the Rubicon Gallery. His paintings and graphic works have been acclaimed both within Ireland and abroad. He exhibited annually with the Independent www.whytes.ie Artists Group (1961-1988) and has been included in numerous important group shows, including the Artists Century - Self Portraits 1900-2000 exhibition at the RHA and When Time Began to Rant and Rage which toured to New York, California, Liverpool and London (at the Barbican). In the catalogue of a retrospective of Michael Kanes work, held at the RHA in 1995, Ciarαn MacGonigal described Kanes great ability as both artist and orator,a protagonist on all matters aesthetic who has constantly argued the need to internationalise Irish art. Kane is an elected member of Aosdαna. www.whytes.ie
