It is a rarity that a character in a Pigsy piece is not a version of the artist himself but in this piece the figure is that of famous Irish writer James Joyce. The inspiration for this painting came after watching a documentary on Joyce and the realised connection between him and the artist’s uncle, also James, whom he never met but who’s house he now owns. Was Joyce talking about people like James in his celebrated novel Dubliners.

Could he have been a role model and mentor for Pigsy for he was also a poet and artist. The title “Mo Laoch” is gaelic for “My Hero”, a reference to the actual feeling for Joyce and the potentially stronger feeling for his uncle that, alas, never existed. Note that Joyce holds the red spelling book, Pigsy’s nemesis, an item depicted in many of his works to signify his struggle with dyslexia.

This piece is currently on display in our Dublin City Gallery, available for immediate worldwide delivery.
