Breon O'Casey (b.1928) Bather Bronze, 75cm high Signed with initials and numbered 2/5 on the base Literature: Full page illustration in article on Breon O'Casey, Irish Arts Review Autumn 2008, page 93. Provenance: A Private Collection, Northern Ireland. Breon O'Casey, son of the playwright Se?n O'Casey, celebrated his 80th birthday earlier this year with a solo show at the Peppercanister Gallery, Dublin. Long associated with the St. Ives School of painters, O'Casey began his studies at the Anglo-French Art Centre in London in 1949 and Saint Martin's School of Art in 1953 before completing an apprenticeship under Denis Mitchell and Barbara Hepworth. He has lived and worked in Cornwall since the 1970s, where the rich artist community has seen wealth of talent, including Tony O'Malley and William Scott. Rather than limiting himself to one method or medium, O'Casey is both a sculptor and painter, and has also dabbled in crafts such as weaving.
