People of the Wild Atlantic Way –
Danny Vincent Smith – Bantry, West Cork.
‘I started painting as long ago as I can remember, this passion for painting started from there. Every hour I would be thinking and looking for some kind of angle for a painting, observing everyday life, watching people’s faces, their expressions, trying to capture movement in the moment, such as an old lady with shopping, old farmers or a fella sitting inside the pub by himself. I try to picture people’s life’s and transfer them to canvas. My environment has a massive influence on my work and I feel like I’m documenting a time and place in rural life from where I live for future generations.’
I love the exhibition in the Bake House, wonderful images.
Its great to see all the exhibitions of your work in the towns and villages of West Cork, keep it going.
Danny’s one of my favourite artists…Its great to see him included in your Bantry exhibition…
Great to see more of your work in Bantry.
