African Irish Art

AFRICAN IRISH ART

An artistic impression of old Ireland 50 thousand years ago, before the arrival of The Celts and The Romans

View thru Art

Art is a pure medium of expression and communicator and the recent Covid lockdown afforded me the opportunity to engage in a way that was not possible before then. My dismal efforts to illustrate the new findings came from a profound sense of desperation that I found myself in, when facing the adversity of Mass Media Control by others, including The State of the Republic of Ireland. Homo-Sapiens had few words and mostly centred on body parts that formed their earliest expressions and these pieces illustrate the minds of these ancient people like has never been done before.

Gangani

(See Ptolemy Map)

Gangani - First Major Settlement

This illustration shows a tribe of men in flat boats and fishing and living along the river bank. It indicates the local Gandelow and Gaal fishing boat used along the shores of the Shannon Estuary.

Gangani aka Lymericke, Limerick, Ireland is possibly one of the oldest settlements in Western Europe and has a very good reason to claim that. It is located furthest in the vast deep safe Estuary feeding into the Atlantic from which all the Gaal boats arrived from Africa, allowing them to traverse the vast hinterland of Ireland that reaches to all parts of the island.

Macolicon – (See Ptolemy Map further down this page for more)

The Elbow Terminal for Fashionista or The Left Bank

Macolincon is the location point for tribes to meet socially and to allow their offspring to mingle and engage in intensive copulating that involves the arts of attraction and fashion and the exchange of gifts. The actual location is not on the island in Lymericke but at that point of the curraghgower falls known as the elbow and located on land. It is an ongoing social activity throughout the year and its location is convenient for all tribes that arrive by boats from the heartlands of the island of Ireland and the ocean. Due to this social event fashion / fabric designers and couture plied their trade with wealthy primal hunters. This may have been the precursor to the renowned famous Limerick lace fabrics.

Haaka

Haaka is Gaelic. This is an art illustration depicting a missing lost page of ancient history set against a white paper background that translates to be the ancient Citi of Lymericke:

The use of the word Aaaka ( there is no ‘h’ in Wolof or Gaelic) was often in the form Oo Aaaka Tari, indicating a sentence, meaning the person to call the tribe to combat. Today, it is spoken faster and it is used in Gaelic to mean a word only, and spelt Uachtarain, meaning officially: the President.

Black Hunting - a fiscal encounter.

Offically the words income Tax and Cáin incaim mean the same: income Tax. Homosapians had a different idea.

The original settlers on the isles made their living initially by hunting and fishing before living off the land as farmers. Some hunting involved killing deer in the forests and bringing the meat and fur/ skin home.

Moving around by boat was faster then and allowed the hunter to choose more of the kind of animal they wanted. Their hunting terminology spoken by their tribes to do their business among themselves as a team remains with us today, in our every-day speech

Fear Marbh (The Dead Man).

The Illustration shows a man lying on his back with clouds enveloping him in the shape of a woman and the evening sun in the background. When homo-sapiens arrived they had a different narrative and gave it a name meaning a contented man that must be respected in his deed. This name is found in the present official name Inishtooskert.
