Rita Duffy PRUA (b.1959) MOTHER IRELAND, 1989 oil on panel signed lower left; signed and titled on reverse; also with University of California Berkely Art Museum label on reverse h:48 w:36 in. Exhibited: 'When Time Began to Rant and Rage: Figurative Painting from Twentieth-century Ireland', University of California Berkeley Art Museum, October 1998 through December 1999, catalogue no. 68 Literature: Steward, James Christen Ed., When Time Began to Rant and Rage: Figurative Painting from Twentieth-century Ireland, Merrell Holberton, London, catalogue no. 68, illustrated p. 259 This painting was a central image in my first solo exhibition after the completion of my MA and the birth of my first son. The central female figure has her arms filled with children and a smoothing iron worn as a head garment is firmly plugged into the church mains, removing any possibility of wrinkled thinking. Like most of my work it is personal and political, it stands as feminist comment on the lives Irish women lived and the prowling bishops who were intent on keeping it that way. This painting has been exhibited internationally and well documented as an important work in Irish contemporary art, sited by art historians' essays and reproduced in numerous publications.

Rita Duffy (b.1959)Hazel Martin, St. Ives GardensOil on canvas, 66 x 59.5cm (26 23½)Signed; signed again, inscribed with title and dated 1984 versoProvenance: The Eamonn Mallie CollectionHazel Martin was a familiar figure in the life of Rita Duffy. She lived opposite her home in St. Ives in Stranmillis in Belfast. Hazel was the sister of the well-known radio presenter Ivan Martin. She was unmarried and lived alone in her little terraced house. Invited to comment on the background to the painting, evocative of a Stanley Spencer opus, Rita said I was making works about what was going on around me, of people with whom I lived - scenes that I knew. It was my way of deconstructing the colonial atmosphere in which I grew up. Basically Hazel was a neighbour. Rather than making work coming from elsewhere I was making work where I was rooted - rather than looking around and seeing what was going on in London. People of my generation easily identify with Duffy's 'Hazel Martin'. We all had neighbours, aunties or grannies, mirror images of Hazel, wrapped in those big aprons of the day. There is a quiet dignity about Hazel. She felt no compulsion to dye her hair blue to pretend she was 'middle class.' She was happy with her lot like the maker of her portrait. Eamonn Mallie

Rita Duffy (b.1959)DreamsOil on board, each 30.5 x 30.5cm (12 x 12) Signed (3)Provenance: The Eamonn Mallie Collection'Dreams' - three heads of children by Rita Duffy were the launching pad for a major outdoor installation of forty heads of children - mostly from Belfast but not entirely with other heads sourced in other parts of Ireland.Duffy, born in Stranmillis in South Belfast has emerged as one of the most formidable ground-breaking artists of her era. She lives today with one foot in the North and one in the South on the Fermanagh/ Cavan border. Essentially a figurative artist Duffy has not shied away from tackling political subjects such as 'lookout towers' in South Armagh or the portrayal of images of the Troubles like her portrait of Father Edward Daly agitating his white bloodstained handkerchief on Bloody Sunday in Derry. Duffy's heads of some forty children found a home on the face of a large commercial building at Lanyon Quay in Belfast. The works are all executed on forty aluminium panels seen by hundreds of thousands of drivers passing closely to Belfast's Waterfront Hall and the Laganside Courts in Oxford Street in Belfast. Rita informed me in the preparation of this exposition of these three oil studies for the series 'Dreams' that a lawyer friend of hers made a very poignant observation about the appointment of the 'Dreams Series.' He said it is an interesting location because the images of the children have ended up at eye level with the courtrooms which deal with family law. It is a very cautionary visionary note for couples savaging each other in divorce proceedings to remember there are children involved. Theses heads are deliberately framed the same to underscore the symmetry in God's creatures devoid of distinction. What is fascinating about these paintings is the fact that the artist has turned each head looking away from us. Who knows the artist's mind or reason for their creations Eamonn Mallie
