His distinctive style combines vivid hues, rich textures and expressive compositions, created through a blend of acrylic and watercolour on canvas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ew-body\">Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and natural beauty of the Midlands and the southwest of Ireland, his work captures the drama of sunrises and sunsets. Texture plays a central role in his artistic process, adding depth and movement to each piece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ew-body\">Among the featured works is Big Bouquet, a striking example of the artist\u2019s signature use of colour and form. Johnny&#8217;s work has also been featured in Irish Arts Review.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ew-body\">In addition to his artistic pursuits, Johnny O\u2019Sullivan serves as Group Operations Director of the Hodson Bay Hotel Group.<\/p>\n<p>\n    Published:<br \/>\n    Thu 25 Jun 2026, 12:50 PM\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published: Thu 25 Jun 2026, 12:50 PM Athlone Art Gallery is hosting Lost in Colour, a new exhibition&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":518430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-518429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
