Biography

English born Martin Gale moved to Ireland as a child and studied in Dublin at the National College of Art. His first solo show came just two years after he graduated and was held at the Neptune Gallery in Dublin in 1975. In 1980 Gale represented Ireland at the XI Biennale de Paris, Nice, Lisbon, Finland, and had a solo show at the Taylor Galleries where he has continually exhibited since. Gale is a member of Aosdána and was elected a member of the RHA in 1996. A major retrospective of his work

was held at the Academy’s Gallagher Gallery in 2004, moving to the Ulster Museum in Belfast the following year. His landscapes are a unique take on the tradition of photo-realism, and most often it is the contemporary figures occupying them that are the true subject of his work.
