John McQuirk is a self-taught artist with a spiritual outlook and a highly personal idiom. His radiantly colourful drawings, like his poetry, are inspired by and seem to be a way of exorcising a traumatic childhood and adolescence spent in a succession of Catholic orphanages. After a chequered career following various occupations, including builder and bingo-caller, McQuirk began to paint and draw in earnest late in life. He is now one of the most commercially successful and critically appreciated artists on the ‘outsider’ scene.
