Stop auto-refreshing Bids?Orla Walsh born in 1970 in Dublin, where she attended St. Dominic's College and NCAD. She left NCAD in her second year to pursue a career in Graphic Design. She worked in production for a agency called Dynamo on projects such as Logos for TV3, MTV and Riverdance Merchandise and DVDs. In 1999 Orla had her first child and returned to painting full time and began exhibiting her work.
Orla was discovered by the corporate lawyer for Heinz Ireland, Richelle Mc Carthy, when she was selling her first set of six ketchup paintings on St. Stephens Green. She was told to take down the paintings as she had infringed copyright. Luckily Heinz World Head Quarters in Pittzburg USA decided not to sue but to buy her ketchup paintings for their board room, where they still hang today.
Since then she was involved in a hugely successful advertising campaign in the Czech Republic for the VSUP Heinz Art Competition featuring work from the Ketchup Collection: which consists of over 100 bottles.
2010 started with a commission for the President of Heinz UK and Ireland. The painting is based on the ‘It has to be’ Campaign. 100 limited edition prints of the painting were distributed to Heinz worldwide. Orla Walsh has gone on to create sought-after painting collections, regularly turning popular brands like Heinz Ketchup, HP sauce, Tomato soup, Guinness, and Tayto Crisps into iconic art images.
2012 has been the most exciting so far, Orlas ‘I Love Ketchup’ painting has been merchandised by Heinz UK . T-towels, Aprons, mugs, lap trays, t-shirts, posters and lots more are onsale in every BHS store throughtout the UK. It is an exciting way for her work to be launched into the UK market for the first time.
Andy Warhol did it with Campbell's soup tins and now Irish artist Orla Walsh has turned the heinz Ketchup bottle into an iconic form of Pop Art
