High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Ballagh (born 22 September 1943) is an Irish artist. He was born in Dublin and graduated from the Dublin Institute of Technology. He is both a painter and designer. His painting style was strongly influenced by pop art and his paintings are often playful and didactic. He is a member of Aosdana. He began with an apprenticeship to the painter Michael Farrell and taught himself the rest. Ballagh made his first big splash with the People Looking At paintings, not least because his reproductions of Pollock, Lichtenstein, Rothko etc, were so convincing Ballagh represented Ireland at the 1969 Biennale de Paris. In 1972, he splashed animal blood on the floor of the Project Arts Centre in Dublin, for an installation about Bloody Sunday. He readily admits that his early output was limited by lack of aesthetic training. For instance, the reason his Portrait of Gordon Lambert, features a silk-screened face is simply that he was not very good at painting faces back in 1972.
