Beemster At Zozimus

Last night, I attended the opening of Briget Beemster's exhibition at Gallery Zozimus, 57 Frances Street, Dublin 8 D08 RX8V. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the venue was welcoming.

Much time and effort had gone into the design and execution of each of Brigit's pieces. Her exhibition features sculptural scenes including figures, trees, cabinets and an airplane. My favourite piece was the cow because it was the most minimalist. Brigit's exhibition will continue until the 1st April 2023.

There are many other paintings and sculptures on show at Gallery Zozimus. This gallery shares a space with Niall Mullin Antiques.

Guggi at the Kerlin

Last Thurs 12th Dec, I attended the opening of Guggi's exhibition 'Broken' at the Kerlin Gallery. The gallery was packed but I managed to see as all of Guggi's work which was worth the effort. There were lots of nice people to meet in a relaxed atmosphere. I had a wonderful night and even met Guggi. His exhibition will continue at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, Sth Anne's St., Dub 2 D02 A028 until 17th Jan 2020.

Classy.

Ship Is Mine at In-Spire Galerie

Last night, I attended the second opening of ‘Ship Is Mine’ at In-spire Galerie, 56 Lwr Gardener St, Dub 1. There was a wide variety of work to see including paintings, prints, sculpture and video installations. Plenty of good music added to the relaxed atmosphere and was not played too loud for people to talk. ‘Ship Is Mine’ will continue until next week. Classy.   

Me again.   Classy.

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.

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.

Vera Klute at the Molesworth

I have attended the opening of 'Petals and Pulp', Vera's Klute's exhibition at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. 🌳 Her paintings done in oil on linen or digital watercolour show woodland scenes, foulage and individual flowers. 🌻 I was impressed with the amount of detail that Vera had included in her paintings. A particular example is one of her larger paintings called 'Clearing' which features lots of fallen branches amongst trees. 🌲 I also loved 'Lustre', a painting of foliage due to its vibrant colours. 🏵 Vera has also included a couple of Jesmonite on concrete sculptures in her show. Her exhibition will run until 23rd Dec 2024.

Salvatore of Lucan at Kevin Kavanagh

Tonight, I attended the opening of Salvatore's exhibition at Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The event was well attended and had a lively atmosphere.

Salvatore's paintings came in different shapes and sizes. One painting called 'Tiny Nude' was just 5 cm x 5 cm. My favourite painting was shaped like a heart with the title 'Heart Shaped Canvas'. Its subject matter featuring a bottom was simple and clever. Another painting which was circular had what I considered the humorous title of 'Mother With A Bad Back'. Most of Salvatore's paintings formated in the usual rectangles and squares measured up to 150 cm x 150 cm. His exhibition called 'Fancy Situations will run until 29th June 2024.

John Paul at the Ireland Institute

I also attended the opening of John Paul's exhibition 'The Characters of Dublin' at the Ireland Institute. Many of the paintings featured statues situated around Dublin including the depiction of Phil Lynott on Harry Street. However I loved the faces of the portraits of real people. They were so full of life. John Paul had finished one painting the previous day which featured the Shelbourne Hotel. The paint was still drying on this painting. John Paul's exhibition will run until next Wed 4th March 2020 at the Ireland Institute, 27 Pearse Street, Dublin 2.

Classy.
