English: Seán Ó Riada was a brilliant composer and musician during his short life. His celebrated works are Mise Éire and other Irish film scores; his ability to turn Irish traditional music into a broad range of styles from symphonic to jazz inspired me to depict him as a man of the 50's and 60's; a formal unfussy portrait put into a setting, as architecture of the period. The Copper cast portrait above will be followed by a Titanium and a Bronze finish model.
