Last night I attended the Xmas Show held at the Ireland Institute. The venue was busy with a wide variety of colourful paintings to view ranging from figurative to streetscape. This exhibition will continue on the first floor at 27 Pearse Street, Dublin 2 until Wed 4th Dec 2019 at 5.30 pm.

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
Last night, I attended the opening of Eilis O'Connell's new exhibition 'Hardware/ Software' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 D02 T802 beside the Westbury Hotel. The Venue was packed and had a lively atmosphere. It was worth the time and effort to go. Loved the sense of form and line in Eilis' work. Her exhibition will continue on Sat 18th Nov 2023.

I also attended the opening of Robert Ballagh's exhibition at the Gorey Gallery, 20 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 last night. This opening was likewise very busy.
I particularly liked Robert's self-portraits. They were well executed and observed. His exhibition will continue onto the 3rd May 2024.

Yesterday, I visited the marble and metal head of Luke Kelly created by Vera Klute. I thought the portrait was very well done in design and execution. A lovely sense of movement and striking facial expression. I loved the hair.
Classy.
Tonight, I attended the opening of Michael Wann's exhibition 'The Old Grieving Fields' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. I enjoyed looking at his many drawings done in charcoal on paper. He had created most of his artworks in a nice compact size from 23 x 30 cm to 70 x 60 cm.
I will discuss my favourite drawings starting with 'Omens/Crows Arriving'. It appeared quite eye-catching with all the passing birds in flight.
Omens/Crows Arriving by Muchael Wann
His 'Controlled Explosion' was the most dramatic image in his exhibition.
Controlled Explosion by Michael Wann
I liked his attention to detail in his road images.
The Old Work Road by Michael Wann
The High Bog Road by Michael Wann
A joy to view. Both artworks were small and hung in their own alcove with a third artwork that was similar in dimensions and subject matter.
I found this image to be evocative.
Aerial 3, Night Visions by Michael Wann
It reminded me of a dystopian vision of the future with fires burning in the distance under a dark sky.
Then there was the striking composition of helicopters flying in loose formation.
Recon by Michael Wann
I liked the short title. It added a sense of storytelling to this image.
Michael's exhibition will run until 1st Mar 2025. It was well worth seeing it.
Last Thurs evening (8th June 2022), I attended the opening of Comhghall Casey's exhition 'New Work' held at the Solomon Gallery, Balfe St. Dub 2. Comhghall's paintings were easy on the eye. The venue was busy with a relaxed atmosphere. Comhghall's exhition will run until 2nd July.

I attended the opening the Michael Canning's exhibition 'Les Yeux' tonight at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 33 Fitzwilliam Square Upper, Dublin 2 tonight. The event was quiet and informal. I loved Micheal's paintings of plants set against plain backgrounds. The fine detail of the twigs and leaves contrasted with the simplicity of sky and minimalist landscapes. His three small paintings of tree trunks intrigued me. To my eye, they were a new development in his work. His exhibition will run until 13th June 2025.
