Donald Teskey RHA (b.1956) Church St., Father Matthew Bridge, Dublin Oil on canvas, 76 x 100cm (30 x 39½”) Signed, inscribed and dated 1999 Donald Teskey was born in Co Limerick in 1956. After graduating from the Limerick College of Art & Design with a Diploma in Fine Art in 1978 he began a successful career in Fine Art, exhibiting throughout Ireland as well as in the USA, UK, Germany and Canada. His talent has been rewarded on many occasions; as early as 1981 he received a prize for drawing at the Limerick EV+A and in 1995 he was presented with the Fergus O'Ryan Award at the RHA Annual Exhibition. This pattern has continued to the present day with residency programmes in Cill Rialaig, Kerry and the Josef Albers Foundation, CT, USA. Based in Dublin, Teskey has been commissioned to create numerous pieces - for ESB Ardnacrusha and Corrigan & Corrigan Solicitors, Dublin. Interest in Teskey has intensified over the last number of years following a world record price for his work Bank Holiday Monday from the Smurfit Collection which made €42,000 in Adam's Christmas Sale, December 2004. His work is included in many prominent public and private collections in Ireland and worldwide. Among the public /corporate collections his work is to be found in The Arts Council, the AIB Collection, OPW, ESB, the University of Limerick and Irish Life Assurance to name but a few. His work has been favourably reviewed in countless publications - Irish Times, The Irish Arts Review and Circa Magazine among them.
