Diarmuid Delargy RE RUA (/ˈdiːərməd dəˈlɑːrdʒi/;[1] born 1958) is a Northern Irish artist, active in painting, printmaking, etching, lithography and sculpture.[2]
Career
Delargy studied at the Ulster Polytechnic and the Slade School of Fine Art in London.[2][4]
He has also completed a suite of prints based on Samuel Beckett's From an Abandoned Work[5] and collaborated with the poet Paul Muldoon.[6] He won a gold medal at the European Large Format Print Exhibition in Dublin in 1991.[7]
According to the Bankside Gallery, "His practice places great emphasis on the etching surface and explores the existential dilemma between Art and Extinction. His work is derived from a cross fertilisation between several media including drawing, painting and sculpture. His prints are totally chiaroscuro, exploring the subtleties of tone potential."[8][9]
