In continuing our series on Irish artists abroad, Geert Lernout examines the career of Dubliner Pat Harris, who like Walter Osborne and Roderic O’Conor travelled to Antwerp’s Royal Academy to study, unlike them he stayed on to become its Professor of Painting.
Most of the year, Dubliner Pat Harris lives with his Belgian wife Linda and his two children in a little town in rural Flanders. Tielrode is situated upstream from Antwerp, the city of Rubens, where he teaches painting at the Academy (Fig 2). The rest of his time is spent at the house and studios he recently built in North Mayo. Both in the Tielrode house and in his separate studio, formerly a coach house, he has a selection of paintings, records of an artistic quest that spans thirty-five years.
