Laochra

20.5″(52cm) x 16.5″(42cm) – measurements include the frame

Well known musician and artist, Steve Wickham, has created a series of beautifully expressionist, symbolic, paintings. Here, the word ‘Laochra’ in Irish, suggests ‘strength’, or ‘warrior’, and in this painting, the nod to figures on horseback, traversing through nature, could perhaps be seen to somewhat align with Steve’s own life path. Steve’s life as a rock musician, would have required him to be a warrior at times, full of experiences and fun and wildness, and perhaps it still does! But now, residing in the West of Ireland, surrounded by nature and loving it and truly connecting with his surroundings, there is a beautiful balance.
Our favourite part of this painting is its magnificent striking pink background. A superb talking piece to own.

Everything about Steve’s work screams fun, quirkiness and a lust for life.
