At the beginning of 2012, Teskey found himself on a three-month residency at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. While perhaps best known for his Irish land and seascapes which communicate not just the colour, sound and movement of nature but its weight as a measurement of history, Teskey is also an accomplished recorder of streetscapes, city buildings and rural edifices. So, the technical demand of painting Paris was not novel to the artist. The art historical burden of depicting the city of lights was a much greater task.

From Crum Creek, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA to the west coast of Ireland and the streets of Paris, Decade traces Teskey’s remarkable skill in articulating the energy and tactility of nature.
