Brian Gormley

b. 1959, New York City
On October 7, 2010, Jules Goldman Books and Antiques opened its inaugural art show, an exhibition of paintings, collages, and prints by longtime friend Brian Gormley.  Gormley, born and raised in Manhattan, came of age in the great era of New York City street art in the 1980s.

Gormley regularly exhibits outside the United States, with prior shows at the prestigious Hillsboro Gallery in Dublin as well as in Vienna, Prague, Zurich, Rome and Mexico City. After the opening of a recent exhibition of printmaking at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, director Enrique Juncosa celebrated Gormley’s contribution to the show with a sit-down dinner for the artist and 200 of the museum’s top patrons at the Clarence Hotel, owned by Bono and The Edge.

As the distinguished Irish critic Brian Fallon has noted, “Gormley continues to expand upon a style which is Sui Generis.” Gormley’s paintings combine an intense intellectual abstraction with sublime beauty. His powerful printmaking leaves no doubt that the work is created by a master of the mark.
