Sport and art will collide at the Ranelagh Arts Centre in Dublin on Thursday, September 8, when the great and the good of Irish rugby will attend a Rugby Legends Art Exhibition by Irish artist Declan Goulding.
The September 8 exhibition is in aid of the IRFU Charitable Trust, a cause that will be met with the approval of every supporter of Irish rugby.
The artist involved, Declan Goulding, said: "It is an honour to paint portraits of each of these rugby legends. I'm sure I won't be the only one looking to gather some views from each of these legends, at exactly the time our Irish team prepare in New Zealand.
"I am delighted to see sport and art collide at the Ranelagh Arts Centre this September."
One of the most innovative community art centres in Ireland, Ranelagh Arts Centre is very pleased to present this exhibition in honour of rugby in rugby-mad Ranelagh, just a stone's throw from the Aviva Stadium.
This event forms part of a 'Month of Culture' at the Ranelagh Arts Centre, curated by the newly-appointed artistic director, Sarah Bracken.
This is Declan Goulding's second solo exhibition. These portraits are all 500x500mm mixed media paintings. A Dublin native, Goulding specialises in portrait paintings.
Drawn to rugby as a theme, his first solo show last year included a Pastel/Gouache of Moss Keane. This work was purchased by Mick Quinn and hangs in the bar of Lansdowne Rugby Club in Dublin.
Goulding is also well-known for his work in RTE, TV3 and at Windmill Lane Studios.

Previewing Saturday's RaboDirect PRO12 final against Leinster with Cóilín Duffy, Ulster winger Andrew Trimble said: "We really motivated for this game. People are talking about us being the best Ulster side in a few years, we had that record of 13 wins in a row at the start of the year. We want to win trophies, and there's no point having those records unless we back them up."
