Buckley Fine Art (Kinsale)

History

Buckley's is a long-established family business which began in antiques and later moved into fine art. The business is run by two brothers Mark and Ken Buckley. Mark tends to source paintings while Ken handles the galleries themselves. Both are very down to earth and attuned to the commercial needs of customers and artists alike. They provide a number of extra services for potential buyers, and are always on the lookout for talented and committed painters, irrespective of pedigree. Recently, they closed their Cork and Clonakilty galleries, and opened in Kinsale.

Artists Represented

Most of Buckley's exhibits are by Irish painters. The list is relatively wide and includes a variety of established names, so prices vary. Big names include: Arthur K. Maderson, Francis Bacon, Hughie O'Donoghue, William Crozier, Brian Ballard Tony O'Malley, Martin Mooney, Markey Robinson, John Kingerlee, J.P. Rooney, Tim Goulding, and TJ Miles, while other artists include: Martin Finnin, Majella O Neill-Collins, Tom Climent, John Morris, Dennis Orme Shaw and Carol Ann Waldron, to name but a tiny few. In addition, you'll find a number of very interesting works by new artists to Ireland (like Gajewska), which you might like even more. (See also: Irish Art Guide.)
