A visit to a painter’s studio can go in one of two ways: the artist might have lined up works for you to view as if at an exhibition, or they might have turned canvases to face the wall, like shy kids at a party.

Patrick Graham, winner of the lifetime-achievement prize in Dublin Gallery Weekend’s inaugural Francis Bacon Awards for Irish visual art, is in the latter category.

I need to get away from my desk, writes Tim Hannigan.

For the past three years I have been obsessively researching the complex history of Ireland’s vanished footpaths, trying to work out how this country has ended up with probably the worst public access to the countryside in Europe: none of the “right to roam” in the woods and mountains that you’d find in Scotland and Scandinavia; no network of rights of way along the field edges of the sort that you’d encounter in France or England.
