 Holidayhound - Limerick, Desmond O'Malley & Gerard Collins; Political, Fianna Fail, Progressive Democrats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Two of the political mainstays of Limerick over the past 30 years, Desmond O'Malley and Gerard (not Gerry) Collins are also beloved of the holidayhound office, due largely to their appearance on a certain radio show in the early 90's (more of this later).
Collins was for a time in the running for the leadership of Fianna Fáil, but eventually turned his attention to Europe instead (the pay is better there, I hear - ed.), becoming a Member of the European Parliament for the Munster constituency.
The country was in uproar and Gerry, ah sorry Gerard, was never taken seriously again; Morgan made sure of that with weekly updates on his gourmet appetite (he was not a slim man, you see).

 Gerard Collins (1991)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Collins was educated at St. Martin's School of Art in London, England; the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and Dalhousie University in Halifax; and Dusseldorf Staatliche Kunstakademie in (what was) West Germany.
Collins' work only superficially resembles "process" art of late-'60s and early '70s, in which the elegance of a verbal program most often lead to rather simple-looking material (like the white, minimalist open cubes of of Sol LeWitt).
Collins' most recent works are the most numerous: the Factory or Assembly-line paintings of 1991, which are based on directly observed seascapes, local Saint John scenes, still lives, and motifs from various reproductions and photographs (even an old colouring book that Collins bought at a flea-market has been used used as a source).

Gerard Collins was born in Saint John; and studied art at St. Martin's School of Art (London, Eng.), then at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, as well as a year at Dusseldorf Staatliche Kunstakademie in Germany.
Nevertheless, in his interpretation of such common themes in Western art, critics have noted a "neo-conceptual" sensibility in his populist, grab-bag approach in which random fragments of places, objects, scenes, and atmospheres are materialized in seductive paint and color.
The artist is currently fascinated with the notion of "fake memories" in which the original impetus for an image disappears altogether and attempts to recreate it becomes a question of pure form, rather than concern with content.

For years Gerry Collins was best known for having been hired at an hourly rate in the early 1980s by one of his teachers, Gerald Ferguson, to "fill in" paintings for him.
But Collins so freely interprets his rules, which are in any case formulated in such a way that almost anything the artist wants to paint can satisfy them, that the idea has not become a machine that makes the art, but a good excuse to make a beautiful painting.
Collins' work could is representatively 1980s painting: the work borrows its imagery from the "right" low art sources, such as Harlequin Romance cover art, cheap wallpaper patterns, and factory-made paintings sold in shopping malls, and Collins' arbitrary and deadpan titles bespeak the banal air of an artist raised in the era of mass media.
