“Watson won’t allow that I know anything of art”*
The Art of Jonathan Barry Exhibition
17 July – 31 August. 9am- 7pm daily.
Andrews Gallery @ Titanic Belfast. Admission Free!
Irish Artist Jonathan Barry will present his 18th solo exhibition of paintings in the Andrews Gallery at Titanic Belfast this summer.
The artist and illustrator, who specialises in painting famous scenes from literature, will be showcasing the largest exhibition of his career, including his collection of Titanic oil paintings depicting the dramatic and heroic events of the fateful night of the sinking of Titanic in 1912.
Also on display will be the paintings from some of the 70 books that Jonathan has illustrated including his iconic Sherlock Holmes images, popular Narnia painting and scenes from Gothic classics such as Dracula and The War of the Worlds.
Roger Johnson, Editor of the Sherlock Holmes Journal, says that Jonathan Barry has done good cover illustrations of the Holmes books – and some others – for Wordsworth, and it should be interesting to see the original artwork. Facebook
