Basil Blackshaw was born in Glengormley, Co Antrim in 1932. He studied at Methodist College Belfast and then went to the Belfast College of Art. When graduating, he was awarded a Council for Encouragement of Music and Arts Scholarship to study in Paris. Blackshaws’ work is well known by the use of distinctive colours and the loose application of paint, often dominated by his passions in life such as horses, dogs and Ireland.
