A limited special edition book by renowned Irish artist Liam O’Neill will be launched in celebration of the artists 70th birthday, at 5pm on the 16th of November in the Blasket Island Centre as part of the Dingle Literary Festival 2024.
This new collection of poetry and artwork, Riastáil, will be available to view and purchase through the Greenlane Gallery, Dingle.
This new publication is a testament to O’Neills consistent creative innovation, weaving memories of his native environment and culture in West Kerry through paint and word to offer a visual and linguistic portrait of the artists world.
The book will be available as a hardback limited edition of 500 for €300, with head and tail bands, marker ribbon, and end papers. Each book is illustrated with 100 colour images of Liam O’Neill paintings and are signed and numbered by the artist.
A collector’s edition with presentation case has also been crafted, limited to 250 at €1,200. This edition has been hand bound by Paul in Muckross Bookbinders, finished in goatskin with raised bands, a hand tooled spine and a buckram board.
Each of the collectors’ editions will include an original artwork by Liam O’Neill, created especially for each individual book.
A copy of each edition will be available to preview and pre-order through the Greenlane Gallery Dingle in advance of the book launch.
