Anne-Sophie Gigan at In_spire Galerie

Last Thursday night, I attended the opening of Anne-Sophie Gigan’s exhibition ‘Dublin Dancers and Dreams’ at In_spire Galerie. I was most intrigued by her combination of dancing and photography and enjoyed all three dance performances. The venue was packed with a lovely atmosphere. Anne-Sophie’s exhibition will run until 23rd March 2019 at 56 Lower Gardener Street, Dublin 1.

Margo Banks at Solomon Fine Art

I've just attended the opening of Margo Banks' exhibition at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 called 'Crow Voice, Fox Voice....Wolf Voice'. Margo has a lovely way of painting animals and all her paintings were full of life. Her opening was well attended. The poet, Jessica Traynor read a poem and Daniel Soro, the guitarist played some live music. Margo's exhibition will run until 22nd July 2023.

I’ve just realised that Tumblr is like Facebook.    The photos stay.     Classy Harmony Creation.

Oliver Sears Gallery

Last Thursday, I attended the opening of Sarah Walker’s exhibition ‘The Drawings On The Sky’ at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth St, Dub 2. I enjoyed it very much and particularly loved her tapestries featuring a single tree like ‘Red Tree’, ‘Mauve Tree’ and ‘Spring Tree’. Sarah’s exhibition will run until 22nd June. The opening itself was well attended. I also had a quick look at the work of Jose Maria Yague Manzanares but it did not appeal to me. His exhibition is called ‘Wolf’ and will run to 22nd June Classy

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.

Me again.    Happy Christmas.

Bridget Flinn at Solomon Fine Art

Last Thursday I attended the opening of Bridget Flinn's exhibition Not Far from Here at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 D02 T802 which is next door to the Westbury Hotel. The venue was packed. Everyone was in good humour which made the event very enjoyable. Bridget's work was pleasing and restful to the eye. I was intrigued by her preoccupation with grafitti that featured in many of her paintings including 'Stacked Reflection' and 'Broken Baths', two of my favourites. Not Far from Here will run until 24th June 2023.

Classy.

Stephanie Hess at Solomon

Tonight, I attended the opening of Stephanie Hess's exhibition called 'A Day At The Zoo' at Solomon Fine Art, 2 Balfe Street, Dublin 2, D02 T802 next to the Westbury Hotel. I particularly like the straightforward theme of her exhibition; all about spending a day at Dublin Zoo. Her pieces had their own charm and character. My favorite was piece was 'Pretty in Pink' which featured a flamingo. Stephanie's exhibition will continue on to Sat 22nd June 2024.

Gallery Zozimus

Last Thursday, I attended the opening of Ostinelli and Priest’s exhibition ‘Animal Magic’ at Gallery Zozimus, 56 Francis Street, Dublin 8. I liked their more minimalist pieces like ‘Class Act’, ‘Charlotte Grey’ and ‘Rhino’. These pieces represent a greyhound, horse and rhino respectively. Their exhibition runs until 31st May. Classy.

Ranellagh Arts Centre

Last Wednesday, I popped into Ranelagh Arts Centre to see Anna Hryniewicz’s colourful paintings. I remember most Anna’s combination of bright yellow and a deep fluorescent pink in many of her paintings. Anna’s preoccupations with Astronomy and children’s daydreaming stayed with me. At least, that was how I interpreted the titles which she gave to her paintings. Going to her exhibition was worth the walk. Classy.
