Born in Enniskillen, Gerard McGourty is a self-taught artist who, since 1989, has had numerous solo exhibitions and is represented in major private collections in Ireland and the USA.

'Expressionist? Modernist? Contemporary Art? Perhaps, New Celtic Expressionism? None of the experts are really sure of how to categorise Gerard's work but they are unanimous in recognising its strength' - Sol Art Gallery

'Gerard was born in County Fermanagh and is one of the most interesting painters in Ireland today, broadly described as an expressionist or modernist painter. Gerard represented Ireland in the international biennial of contemporary art Florence in 2005. His international standing is acknowledged by a personal invitation from the French Painter Claude Pissarro, grandson of French Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, to participate in the Salon d'Arts de La Rochelle' - McKenna Gallery (NI)
