Robert Ballagh (b.1943)

The Irish painter and designer Robert Ballagh was born in Dublin in 1943. A graduate of the Dublin Institute of Technology in architecture, he worked as an engineering draughtsman, a musician and a postman before taking up fine art painting full-time at the age of 24.

Pop-art is a major influence on Ballagh's style of painting, and his artworks can be humorous as well as didactic.

As in the case of many artists, Ballagh was obliged to combine fine art with more commercial design activities. Using his graphic design skills, he produced over 70 stamps for An Post, as well as a series of Irish banknotes ("Series C") for the government just prior to the introduction of the euro.

Ballagh also produced a wide range of murals, posters, limited prints and book covers. His theatre and set designs include works for "I'll Go On", Gate Theatre (1985); Samuel Beckett's "Endgame", Gate Theatre (1991); the Riverdance company; Oscar Wilde's "Salomé",   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 3066 characters.]  Artist bio
