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 Catherine Owens’ exhibition ‘6 am’ at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth St, Dub 2. The gallery was packed. Everyone there was very friendly. It was a treat to view work that looked a bit different. The curtains and LED lights added to the effect of seeing something new. Catherine’s show will run until 31st July 2018. Classy.
Tonight, I attended the opening of 'Yan', at the Taylor Gallery. Nine artists are exhibiting work ranging from paintings on paper and plywood, collages and a few sculptural poeces. I loved John Graham's grid images with their combinations of vertical and horizontal lines and enjoyed Jin Hirosawa's colourful paintings for their humour. 'Yan' will run until 22nd Feb 2020 at the Taylor Galleries, Kildare St., Dublin.
Classy.
Eamon Colman at the Solomon
Tonight, I attended the opening of Eamon Colman's exhibition 'Harmony in Diversity: Nature's Curcular Dance' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. The venue was packed and had a lively atmosphere.
Eamin's paintings were colourful and comprised landscapes and interiors. I loved his use of yellow, blue and pink. My favourite painting that I had managed to see was 'Moon Orchard' which features to my eye, a large pink heart. Eamon's exhibition will run until 21st Sept 2024. It was well worth going.

Last night, I attended the opening of Colin Davidson’s exhibition ‘Variations’ at the Oliver Sears Gallery. I was delighted to see all of his flower paintings. Although I loved Colin’s street scenes and portraits, I found his latest change in subject matter quite refreshing. I preferred his paintings painted in lighter colours especially ‘Dorabella’ with its yellow flowers on a sky blue background. The gallery was busy with a relaxed atmosphere. Colin’s exhibition will run until 24th Jan 2019 at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth Street, Dub 2.
Classy.
I attended the packed opening of Kenny Mc Kendry' exhibition 'Rathlin, Portrait of an Island and Other Works' at the Gorry Gallery, 20 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. Kenny's paintings had a lovely sense of light in them. Many if them seemed to glow especially the seascapes. His portraits had plenty of personality. The faces well observed. His exhibition will run until 11th Apr 2025.

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.

Last Wednesday, I saw Margaret Egan’s exhibition ‘The Breath of Sound and Earth’ at Solomon Fine Art. I loved the atmospheric quality of her paintings. The work depicting people was full of movement and had a nice line to each figure. Her landscapes and seascapes were dark and brooding is a pleasing sense. I thought that all four horses in ‘The Sound of the Earth’ were well portrayed. Margaret’s exhibition with continue until 2nd March 2019 at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 beside the Westbury Hotel.
