Description
"Landfall at Slea Head" a framed print signed by John Skelton
John Skelton (1925-2009) started his professional career in London where he came under the influence of Euston Road School in the late 1940s. After 1975 he worked full-time as a painter. He had numerous one-man shows in Dublin, two in Belfast, one in Los Angeles and one in the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut.
Up to the late 1980s, Skelton was a frequent exhibitor in group shows, particularly the annual Royal Hibernian Academy and the Watercolour Society Shows in Dublin. In recent years, however, his work was in such demand that he contributed to these less often. During the 1970s and early 1980s he earned a reputation as a gifted teachere and lecturer in the National College of Art and Design in Dublin.
