The Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, Patrick O’Donovan, was in Killarney this week to launch an exhibition showcasing Kerry’s most famous faces.
The Kerry Icons exhibition by visual artist Paul Egan features 50 near-photo realistic portraits of influential Kerry figures.
These range from cultural figures such as John B. Keane and Peig Sayers to sports legends including David Clifford, as well as film stars Jessie Buckley and Michael Fassbender.
Twenty-two-year-old Egan is known for his graffiti style of artistry and his use of spray paints and recycled materials in his work.
The exhibition is presented by The Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, in partnership with Kerry County Council.
It is taking place at Government Buildings, New Road, Killarney, until September 23rd, and admission is free.
