Blackshaw's painting are often figurative in form, but with a non-naturalistic palate which rebalances the composition in an expressionist, even abstract, way. His themes are very Irish and often rural; Greyhounds , Irish Travellers and the landscape. He has also produced portraits and has designed posters for Derry 's Field Day Theatre Company . The Arts Council Of Northern Ireland organised a major retrospective of his work in 1995 , which travelled from Belfast to Dublin , Cork and many galleries in the United States . In 2001 he received the Glen Dimplex Award for a Sustained Contribution to the Visual Arts in Ireland. The Ulster Museum held a major exhibition of his work in 2002 . WORKS IN COLLECTIONS
