Born in Worcester in 1949, Martin Gale moved to Ireland at a young age and studied painting and drawing at the National College of Art & Design, Dublin from 1968 to 1973. In 1982 Gale was elected a member of Aosdána and in 1996 was made a full member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. He is currently a Board member of the National Gallery. He represented Ireland at the Paris Biennale in 1980 and his paintings have been included in several major surveys of contemporary and 20th century Irish art. A large-scale retrospective of his work travelled from the Royal Hibernian Academy to the Ulster Museum in 2004-05. In 2013 Gale was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Fine Art from NUI Maynooth and earlier this year he was the recipient of the RHA Award for a Senior Artist at the 184th Annual Exhibition.
