In this episode we talk to the incredible artist Francis Tansey who is a professional artist, an international painter best known for his work in geometric, hardedge colour field with op art elements. Tansey studied in the NCAD and is interested in the development of colour in an abstract sense. His influences include Bauhaus, Kandinsky & the colour theory master Johannes Itten. Tansey’s research focuses on how colour is perceived as an international language. In 1985 he became the first artist in residence at the Butler Gallery in Co. Kilkenny, where his brightly coloured geometric acrylic paintings caused great interest.
