NEW PAINTINGS 1988-89 GLEASON, GERRY., Essay by Roy Wallis ; interview by Brian McAvera. 28 pages : illustrations ; 30 cm. Gerry Gleason: a perspective of his growing up and working in Northern Ireland: Artists like Jack Pakenham, one of the key figures in 'Troubles' painting, were painting long before The Troubles began. They had developed a style of working but were forced to change that style when confronted with the whole new vocabulary of images that were created by The Troubles. In a sense Gerry Gleason was different. Not only was he of a different generation from Jack, but he had only just started painting at the beginning of the eighties and,like a homing pigeon, he zeroed in unerringly onto the socio political. It would have been very easy for Gerry Gleason to take this route as it was obvious, even in the early days of the eighties, that those artists who wereproducing socio political work, not only did not find a collecting base but were also shunned by the establishment. The Arts Council, the British Council, the Ulster Museum, indeed every major museum in the Republic of Ireland, refused to collect their work, even though, in terms of the disbursement of public monies, they had a duty to reflect what was happening across the arts. Gerry Gleason is one of the few who bore witness to what was happening in the North, day in, day out, year in, year out. You can, often literally, follow Gleason in his work on an almost day to day basis as so many of his paintings have coded within them, the numbers of people who died during the time it took for any given work to be painted. Every major development in The Troubles was been itemised by the painter, though not in any literal way. Gleason always gives you a way in: glorious colour, an outlined figure.a decent copy.
