Cyprus Avenue & Other Works is a remarkable collection of paintings, new and retrospective, with particular focus on the artist’s own neighbourhood of Cyprus Avenue, Belfast.
Born in 1943, Brian Ballard is best known for his contemporary treatment of the traditional genres of the still life, the nude and the landscape, and his distinctive use of bold yet evocative colour, he works mainly in his home town of Belfast and on Inishfree Island off the coast of Donegal.
