A new exhibition documents every red card in Roy Keane’s football career.<\/p>\n
Dublin artist Se\u00e1n Harte’s ‘Sent Off’ series depicts the 11 times Keane received his marching orders for Manchester United and the one time he was dismissed for Ireland.<\/p>\n
His first oil pastel painting was Keane’s first red card in 1995, for an altercation with Crystal Palace\u2019s Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n
“The first one was purely out of amusement to me. It kicked it all off. People responded well to it, so I kept going,” Mr Harte said.<\/p>\n
Keane’s notorious, knee-high tackle on Manchester City’s Alf-Inge Haaland in April 2001 Manchester derby, is captured in a series of paintings.<\/p>\n
“It took me a while to do these. I felt a bit of pressure. It\u2019s the most infamous tackle,” he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Harte says Keane’s candid podcast conversations, as well as clips on social media, have informed his work.<\/p>\n
He believes his art has struck a chord with fans of Irish popular culture and sporting nostalgia.<\/p>\n
“It’s not high-end art. It’s not putting people off. It allows people to revisit these football memories in a different way,” he said.<\/p>\n
