Tipp artist gets Olympic career boost

Tipperary artist John Keating has described as a “massive career boost” being selected to exhibit his work during the Olympic Games.

The Dublin-based painter has been chosen to exhibit at the European Section of the exhibition at the Olympic Fine Arts 2012 that will open in the London Museum on Aug 1.

Mr Keating said the event was to disseminate and exalt the Olympic spirit and ideals through different works of art from different cultures and in different mediums.
