Pierce Brosnan has opened his first-ever gallery to showcase his art, which he has been creating over the years. His son Dylan produced a short film that looks back on the actor’s career in art, reflecting on his early life that inspired his love for painting. Brosnan described his childhood in Southern Ireland, saying, “I grew up in my imagination.” The video provides an inside look into his studio while he was at work on his canvas, describing his self-taught art skills alongside several childhood photographs. He described the process of leaving school when he was 16 with his drawings and the struggle of finding his first job, which he eventually did as a trainee.
Brosnan’s wife, Keely Shaye Brosnan, also contributed to his love for the medium, as Pierce discussed how she’d leave notepads by the phone as he would draw while having conversations. In the short film, Pierce also got into how his late first wife, Cassandra Harris, was the reason he returned to painting after giving it up for acting.
The emotional heft of the past couple of days came to a head with the new video the actor, 69, shared. The film produced by his son Dylan, 26, looked back on the actor’s career in art, while also reflecting on his early life that inspired his love for painting. He shared that he began painting again when his first wife was dealing with ovarian cancer and that some of the paintings on display at his exhibition dated back to 1987.
Dylan is a musician and model, and his other son with Keely, Paris, is more aligned with his dad’s footsteps, possessing an equal love for filmmaking and art. Paris was able to display some of the art he’d created at a gallery in Los Angeles earlier in the month with his parents by his side, just before his dad’s gallery opened. Soon after, Paris graduated from Loyola Marymount University’s film school with his family beside him.
In conclusion, Brosnan’s gallery showcases his love for art, which he has been creating for many years. The emotional short film produced by his son, Dylan, provides an inside look into his studio while he was at work on his canvas, describing his self-taught art skills alongside several childhood photographs. It also reflects on his early life that inspired his love for painting and his late first wife, Cassandra Harris, was the reason he returned to painting after giving it up for acting.
