Contemporary painter Rodney Dickson was born in Northern Ireland in 1956. Exploring the aftermath of wars in earlier works, Dickson was later known for his abstract paintings. Through repeated stacking and scraping of oil paints, he creates vivid and thick colors and textures, revealing strong emotions in the artworks. Recently, his two representative oil paintings, Kill 'em all and Let Buddah sort 'em out (2004-2007) and Number 6 (2009), were collected by Hugh Lane Gallery, a leading modern art museum in Ireland since its founding in 1908. The paintings are also on view at the "New Acquisitions" exhibition until August 30, 2023.
