Tim Goulding: West Cork-based artist takes stock with new exhibition at 81 

Many of the pieces in the VI Decades exhibition were inspired by the landscape around his home in Allihies

Tim Goulding: VI Decades is currently on at the Taylor Galleries in Dublin.

Tim Goulding’s VI Decades exhibition at the Taylor Galleries in Dublin traces the arc of a 60-year career across 26 series of paintings, mostly inspired by the landscape surrounding his home in Allihies, on the Beara peninsula in West Cork.

Goulding has lived in Allihies since 1968, when he bought and began renovating the old schoolhouse at Reentrisk. His intention, even then, was to become a full-time artist.
