Catalogue Note
McSweeney moved to Sligo in the 1980s and was immediately inspired by the surrounding landscape there. The horizontal focus of the present work where the delineation between sky, sea and shore fluctuates between representation and abstraction is typical of his dynamic treatment of each subject.
Largely self-taught, McSweeney has had numerous solo exhibitions at galleries such as The Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin; The Taylor Galleries, Dublin; The Kerlin Gallery, Dublin and The Fenderesky Gallery, Belfast. His work is also held in public collections such as those of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland; The Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and Sligo Museum and Art Gallery.
