Curran is a former antique-dealer who has exhibited in galleries and shows across Ireland and the USA. He is concidered one of the most talented folk painters of the times. Oliver's paintings reflect his vision of Irish landscape and history. Many of his works focus on the historical tension's, Despite the serious undercurrent of his work, many of Oliver's paintings are very humorous.
