About this artwork
Originally painted in 2007 it was Joyce in a brown suit, I decided to experiment and add colour to this colourless Joyce by adding bits of colour, bright contemporary portrait of James Joyce in 1928 repainted in 2017. Reference photography by Berenice Abbott, "James Joyce." The photograph depicts Joyce figure seated in an armchair, one hand resting on his lap while the arm in the lower right of the photograph is leaning on the arm of the chair. Joyce…
is wearing a jacket and tie, with two rings on the hand in the bottom right and a cane in the bottom left of the photograph. The portrait is ¾ view, with the subject looking to the right and slightly up.

« A traditional approach to composition with a modern touch hopefully makes me a true 'contemporary Impressionist'. »
David Nowlan takes the skill and techniques from impressionism and translates them in a contemporary way. The Irish painter endeavors to paint the beauty and creativity of the world, either in homage to great thinkers and artists, or to capture the uniqueness of a face. Many of Nowlan's works are an exploration of colors and shades in order to capture a particular mood or moment. He creates using oils on canvas and wood.
