Felim Egan was born in Ireland in 1952. He moved to Edinburgh in 1986 before returning to Ireland in 1991. He is an abstract painter whose work has been described by the poet Seamus Heaney as a balance of '...shifting brilliances' and which belongs to a very specific place - the strand of beach where he lives on Dublin Bay. Egan has shown widely at home and abroad including the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 1996 and earlier this year at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
