Justine Glasgow is an inspired, contemporary Irish artist. Working from her private studio in Holywood, County Down, she paints sought after work, full of symbolism and secret meaning. Thought-provoking, her work often starts debate among Ireland's foremost art dealers and collectors. Lovers of contemporary Irish art, private buyers, art dealers and collectors alike, this site is for you.
"The most important relationship is possibly the painter's link to his or her subject. That's where you get the emotion and ultimately the meaning. You only have to think of Gainsborough painting his young daughters chasing a butterfly in the mid-1750s or Constable's Salisbury Cathedral or even Picasso and his mistresses to get the point."
"Justine Glasgow has followed Gainsborough and painted a self-portrait with her children. But in a departure from convention she's depicted herself and her nuclear family as doves."
"Her approach to art isn’t airy fairy, and Justine has also included her Guinness series in the show, illustrating different moments and links forged over a pint of the black stuff. ‘Friendship’ shows two straight glasses, one slightly tilted, painted in beautiful broad brushstrokes. This not-totally still life shows the way friendships blossom in the haziness of the first pint."
