Markey Robinson (1918 - 1999)
Road to Duggort - Oil on Board
Born
on Arkwright Street in Belfast, David Marcus Robinson, son of a housepainter of
the same name. He took his direction and love of art and colour from his
grandfather, Thomas Robinson.
Markey,
now well established as one of Ireland's leading names in art, had brushes with
careers of all kinds, but it was to art that Markey dedicated nearly all of his
life. He ultimately has become one of the most recognisable and consistently
saleable painters in Ireland.
Although
he originally lived and worked in Belfast, Markey frequently travelled the
world in search of the images that would become iconic in his paintings. His
trips to Spain and Africa provided stunning, simplistic images of buildings and
life from around the world, but it was Ireland that captured Markey's
imagination most of all. His paintings depict the countryside with flat, muted
colour and in his almost abstract, almost geometrical compositions, he seems to
capture the easy relationship between beauty and sadness.
Markey
led a turbulent life and often left no room for close relationships. After a separation
from his family, he moved to Dublin, eventually coming to the Apollo Gallery on
Dawson Street. His work continued to progress and develop here, and he was a
familiar sight walking around Dublin, dragging behind him his cart containing
all his possessions. The Irish Independent described his time in Dublin as "a
daily occurrence of the city, dressed like a tramp, searching skips and rubbish
tips for boards and paper on which he could paint. His pockets would be filled
with large amounts of cash."
Markey's
outwardly eccentric nature seemed to contradict his paintings, which seem to
display a gentle calm and a close relationship with rural Ireland and the
landscape.
Markey
died suddenly on 28th January 1999 at his home in Belfast, but had inspired his
family to paint, his daughter Annie Robinson is currently represented by the
Apollo Gallery.
