In British painter William Ireland, author Maeve Binchy found an artist who painted book covers that harmonize beautifully with her texts. William Ireland's art goes far beyond illustrating book covers. The painter with Scottish roots has created a body of work that is versatile. Both his style and his choice of subjects are varied and tell of the painter's life. The Scottish landscape is one of the recurring motifs. This is contrasted with the impressions the artist collected on his travels and during stays in southern Europe. The breakfast table under the bright sun in Tuscany, an evening garden party under a Mediterranean sky or the view from a window over the blooming landscape. William Ireland work is a pictorial diary and seem to show stations of his life. His works include warm and charming interiors that seemed so alive, as Maeve Binchy aptly described them. Unlimited seem to be the motifs William put on canvases. Irish doorways, gardens, and the carefree life by the pool. Ireland painted by feeling and intuition. A painter who seems to be completely free of artistic drawers.
The British painter William Ireland graduated from the Glasgow School of Art. The color is the determining means of design, regardless of the motif. Line, composition and perspective recede in their importance for the composition of the picture. William Ireland is classified as a colorist by prioritizing color. Colorism is an art form in which contours and graphic representation recede into the background in favor of the colorful composition. In contrast to abstract painting, the figurative representation remains. The paintings achieve their effect through color and appeal to the senses. With this form of design, William Ireland goes beyond pure depiction. A similar style of painting can be found in the late Impressionist works of Vincent van Gogh. Both painters chose the pastose application of paint with a brush, whose lively guidance can be seen.
