Breon O'Casey British, 1928-2011

It's odd, but although my paintings are almost always abstract, my sculptures are almost always of some animal, bird or person. I dont know why this is; but maybe painting is a language - a language writ on hardboard, paper or canvas. The language of colour and form - as John Wells says: "whereas sculpture is objects". And an object, unless it be a stone, must be of something. 

BREON O'CASEY

Breon O’Casey was a significant member of the St. Ives school whose leading figures included Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Bernard Leach. He began his working career as an assistant, initially to Denis Mitchell and later to Dame Barbara Hepworth in St. Ives, whilst establishing himself up as a painter, jeweller, weaver, and later, as a sculptor.
