Robert Ballagh

Personal Details Name Robert Ballagh Place of Birth Dublin Date of Birth 22 September 1943 Nationality Irish Movement pop art Field Painting

Career:

   He began with an apprenticeship to the painter Michael Farrell and taught himself the rest. Ballagh made his first big splash with the People Looking At paintings, not least because his reproductions of Pollock, Lichtenstein, Rothko etc, were so convincing Ballagh represented Ireland at the 1969 Biennale de Paris. In 1972, he splashed animal blood on the floor of the Project Arts Centre in Dublin, for an installation about Bloody Sunday. He readily admits that his early output was limited by lack of aesthetic training.
