Vincent Crotty is an Irish-born artist from Kanturk, County Cork, who has been living in Boston since 1990. Regarded for his landscapes, seascapes, nocturnes, and figurative paintings, he paints with fluid and vigorous brushstrokes, balanced by sensitive color. His paintings reveal a remarkable understanding of light — transforming everyday subject matter into images that are memorable and moving.
Vincent has been exhibiting his work for over 40 years, in galleries in Ireland and the United States. He has been recognized with awards from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the John Stobart Foundation, Plein Air Magazine, and juried art shows internationally.
Vincent has offered workshops in Ireland, Canada, and throughout the US. He teaches weekly classes at the New Art Center in Newton, Massachusetts. He has given portrait demonstrations at the Harvard University Art Museums, and his portraits been commissioned by the Boston College Burns Library, the Irish Cultural Center of New England, the Michael J. Quill Cultural Centre in New York, and many private collections.
In addition, Vincent has created set designs for theater companies and productions including A Christmas Celtic Sojourn, Atlantic Steps, Cork City Ballet, the Huntington Theater Company, and Kieran Jordan Dance. Four of his paintings were used on the set of the movie Mystic River.
