Paul Regan has won the sixteenth annual
Microsoft Ireland Art prize, and his works are currently being
exhibited in a solo show in the EPDC 5 building. His work was
in competition with other works in the company's private collection.
One of Regan's works was commissioned as a centrepiece for the
Microsofts new EPDC 5 Building in Leopardstown, south Dublin.
Regan is known primarily as a painter
using both oils and acrylics as well as water-soluble paints (sometimes
his works are digitally processed), but also for works in print
and sculpture. Another recent commision was the Central Bank of
Ireland commemorative ten-euro coin marking EU accession.
Born in 1970, Regan qualified from the
College of Marketing and Design in Dublin in 1993 and has since
had numerous solo exhibitions in Ireland and America. His website
is here.

British writer Matthew Hart has just released
his new book, The Irish Game: A True Story of Crime and Art,

broader canvas. One reviewer suggested innocently that the story
could be made into a film...
