Twelve Paintings: Colin Davidson and Mark Carruthers in Conversation

Twelve Paintings is an intimate and
compelling exploration of the life and
work of the renowned Irish artist Colin
Davidson. Structured around a series
of deeply personal conversations with
the broadcaster Mark Carruthers, the
book uses twelve key works – from early
Belfast street scenes to iconic portraits
of figures like Queen Elizabeth II,
Seamus Heaney and Edna O’Brien –
as gateways into broader reflections
on art, memory and place.
