Guggi at the Kerlin

Tonight, I attended the opening of Guggi's exhibition 'Them' at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, South Anne's Street, Dublin D02 A028. The venue was packed full of interesting people. I loved the subtle colours in Guggi's paintings and enjoyed looking at his bowl shapes that he includes in many of his artworks. Guggi's opening went very well. His exhibition will continue until 24th February 2024.

Classy.

Gerard Hegarty at Ranelagh Arts Centre.

Last night, I attended the opening of Gerard Hegarty’s exhibition ‘The Roads Less Travelled’ at Ranelagh Arts Centre, 26 Ranelagh, Dublin 6. There was a lovely play of colour and plenty of life in Gerard’s paintings. I saw the influence of Paul Cezanne in many of his landscapes and Edouard Manet in his seascapes. It was a beautiful evening and the musician who attended was very good, Gerard’s exhibition will run until 28th August 2018.   

Bourke & Kane at Taylor Galleries

I attended the opening of 'Bourke/Kane' an exhibition of paintings by Brian Bourke and Michael Kane at the Taylor Galleries, 16 Kildare Street, Dublin 2. I thought that Brian's work was quite sombre to my eye at least. However there was quite interesting subject matter included in his paintings including decaying sunflowers, a winter landscape and Indonesian statues. Michael Cane's work was muted but had more colour. The opening was very well attended with a lively atmosphere. Brian and Michael's show will continue until the 13th of April 2024.

Dáire Lynch at Gallery X

I saw the opening of Dáire Lynch's exhibition at Gallery X, 11 Hume Street, Dublin called 'The Light Falls Softly'. The venue was packed. There were many paintings on view which ranged in size and content. However, most of Dáire's paintings were figurative in genre. I particularly liked his large blue paintings each featuring a single figure with a patterned background. Dáire's exhibition will only run for another week.

Classy.

Clayworks at the Printworks

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.  

Conor Foy at the Molesworth

Tonight, I attended the opening of Conor Foy's exhibition 'Bang Bang' at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. The venue was busy and had a relaxed pleasant atmosphere. I was intrigued that Conor had painted all of his paintings on birch panels. Most of his artworks feature small groups of people located in plain backgrounds like 'Gold Comfort', three figures huddled together against a gold leaf expanse. Some paintings evoke snowy scenes eg 'JB' and '3'. I particularly liked Conor's portraits such as 'Red Cap', 'Boy Golden' and '2024'. His exhibition will run until 28th Sept 2024.
