Limerick's Divine Triptych
Project type
Portrait Painting
Date
2023-34
Location
Limerick City, Ireland
This powerful triptych reimagines the people of Limerick as regal, heroic figures, drawing inspiration from Kehinde Wiley and classical artists like Jan Provost. At its heart is a Black woman portrayed as a modern Madonna—defiant, dignified, and draped in a royal blue gown—framed by King John’s Castle. Flanking her are streetwise apostles and archangels in tracksuits, tattooed and divine, alongside cherubic children in GAA gear. The panels are united by Limerick’s Black Bridge and native wildflowers, symbolising the strength, beauty, and complexity of the city’s identity. This work is a bold reclamation of representation, celebrating community, diversity, and pride.
