Yan at Taylor Galleries

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.

Gary Coyle at Kevin Kavanagh

Tonight, I attended the opening of Gary Coyle's exhibition 'Dreaming Different Dreams' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery. His dark gray and detailed drawings are full of atmosphere in a dreamy sense. Tonight they stood out from the pink wall paintings behind and around them. The juxtaposition of dark grey and bright pink created an interesting scene. Gary's exhibition will run until the 28th March 2020 at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8.

Classy.

Mc Kendry at Gorry Gallery

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.

Eyeballs 👀

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.

Classy.

Anders at Reds Gallery

I also went to the opening of Anders' exhibition 'The Art of Subtle Collection' at Reds Gallery, 21 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 D02 TK33. The venue was busy. Plenty of people came. Anders' digital artworks were colourful and detailed. My two favourite artworks were abstract compositions of rectangles and stripes executed in warm colours. Anders' exhibition will run until Wed 14th May 2025. Reds Gallery is located up a few flights of stairs but is worth the climb.

Meave Mc Carthy at the Molesworth

I had attended the opening of Meave Mc Carthy's exhibition 'Recollective Spaces at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. It was busy and had a friendly atmosphere. People came from and went to other events. Meave painted her oil paintings on linen, board or even panels. Her style was maticulous especially when it came to her buildings, raods and flowers. The world is at peace in her nocturnal images. Her portrayal of light under a night sky appealed to me. I thought that her large artwork 'Open Window' was the most striking. It's a change to look into a brightly lit interior rather than out at a sun drenched exterior. Her smaller painting 'Towards the mountain' was the most atmospheric. To my eye, it appeared to be a quiet moonlit scene. Her show will run until 31st Oct 2024.

John Short at Solomon

I attended the opening of John Short's exhibition 'Horizons' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 tonight. The venue was packed.

I enjoyed viewing John's loose and spontaneous paintwork. He painted his paintings with watercolours and ink while including collage in some of them. My favourite paintings were wide and panoramic.

He had included four large ceramic pieces in his exhition. It was nice to see that he was trying a new medium to work in.
