Yesterday, I visited the RHA, 15 Ely Place, Dublin 2 to see the 188th RHA Annual Exhibition on its last day. It was my second time attending this show and was worth the effort. I enjoyed viewing work by familiar artists such as Ken Drew, Richard Gorman, Eithne Jordan, Alice Maher, Mick O’Dea, John Shinners and Donald Teskey along with some new names. Classy.

Last night, I attended the second opening of ‘Ship Is Mine’ at In-spire Galerie, 56 Lwr Gardener St, Dub 1. There was a wide variety of work to see including paintings, prints, sculpture and video installations. Plenty of good music added to the relaxed atmosphere and was not played too loud for people to talk. ‘Ship Is Mine’ will continue until next week. Classy.

Spring at the Solomon
Tonight, I attended the opening of the Spring Group Show at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 D02 T802 beside the Westbury Hotel. The venue was packed. I didn't get to see everything.
However, I loved the simplicity of 'Broighter Boat IV' (2024) by John Behan, the detail in 'Four Lamb Loin Chops' (2024) and the character of 'Nabresina Playtime' by Michael Quain. I enjoyed the curvy lines of 'Trust Issues' by Orla de Bri and the eye-catching qualities of 'Untitled 37302' (2005) by Carbon Walker. The atmosphere at Solomon Fine Art was very lively. There was plenty of beautiful sculptures and paintings to view. The show will continue until 27th Apr 2024. It was well worth the effort of going.

I attended the opening of ‘Clayworks at the Printworks’ at Dublin Castle, Dame St, Dub 2 last Saturday 7th July 2018. The event, also the annual Ceramics Ireland Open Submission Members Exhibition, was well attended in a relaxed atmosphere. There was everything on view ranging from contemporary domestic ware through to decorate bowls to abstract installations. As a member of Ceramics Ireland, I had submitted a piece. Get a load of all these eyes.
I called my piece ‘All Eyes For You’.
‘Clayworks at the Printworks’ will run until 29th July 2018. Classy.
Last night, I attended the opening of Jim Turner’s ‘Introspective Retrospective’ at Gallery Zozimus. The place was packed with people who knew Jim. As few sales were made. I particularly loved Jim’s vessels with their subtle use of colour and simplicity of form. Jim’s wonderful exhibition will continue until 30th Sept 2018 at Gallery Zozimus, 56 Frances Street, Dublin 8. Classy.
Last night, I attended the opening of Briget Beemster's exhibition at Gallery Zozimus, 57 Frances Street, Dublin 8 D08 RX8V. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the venue was welcoming.
Much time and effort had gone into the design and execution of each of Brigit's pieces. Her exhibition features sculptural scenes including figures, trees, cabinets and an airplane. My favourite piece was the cow because it was the most minimalist. Brigit's exhibition will continue until the 1st April 2023.
There are many other paintings and sculptures on show at Gallery Zozimus. This gallery shares a space with Niall Mullin Antiques.

I attended the opening of Gary Colye's exhibition 'Terra Cognita' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, (Chancery Lane, Dublin 8) tonight. It was packed.
⚫⚫⚫
My favorite drawing was After The Flood'. I loved the simplicity of this image. Three of the walls in the gallery were decorated in green. The forth wall was done in red. All were decorated with natural forms.
⚫⚫⚫
I also liked in the drawing 'In A Forest Clearing'. It was the most striking artwork with the eye in its centre.
⚫⚫⚫
Gary's exhibition will continue until the 15th March 2025.
