A dedicated and pioneering abstract painter of the post-war years, Irvin had achieved a degree of distinction by the late 1960s, making powerful and complex paintings with strong directional brushwork. Though he had used water-soluble acrylic paint since the early 1970s, Irvin enjoyed a resurgence of creativity with this medium in the 1980s and 1990s when he launched himself into colour with ever-increasing boldness. Blenkarne 4 is a perfect example of this exciting development.
