Gallery Zozimus Reopens

Me again.    Happy Christmas.

Liam Gillick at the Kerlin

Last Thursday night, I attended the opening of Liam Gillick’s exhibition ‘A Depicted Horse is not a Critique of a Horse’ at the Kerlin Gallery. I was most intrigued by the large drawings created in the style of wood cut prints. The wall mounted colourful sculptures provided a nice juxtaposition with the black and whiteness of the drawings. It appeared, to me, that the sculptures built from girders painted in blocks of strong colours acted as a colour chart for the 2D work. I found Liam’s exhibition quite different in content and execution and enjoyed it.  His exhibition will run until 19th January 2019 at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne’s Lane, South Annne’s St, Dub 2.

Classy.

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.

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.

Classy

Sinead Ni Mhaonaigh at the Kerlin

Tonight, I attended the opening of Sinead Ni Mhaonaigh's exhibition 'Teorainn' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery. I enjoyed viewing her paintings especially the more hazy ones with less detail. The venue was busy with a relaxed atmosphere. Sinead's exhibition will run until 29th Feb 2020 at Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chanery Lane, Dub 8.

Classy.

This is my business card.    I wonder how to remove images from Tumblr.    Classy. 

Mick O'Dea at Molesworth

Last night, I attended the very popular opening of Mick O'Dea's exhibition 'What Is The Stars?' at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. Mick's paintings were a nice size; not too large or small. There was a lovely sense of light and shadow in their compositions.

Each painting protrayed actors preparing to go on stage or undertaking dress rehearsals. The plays in question were Sean O'Casey's trilogy, 'The Plough and the Stars', The Shadow of a Gunman' and 'Juno and the Paycock' all performed at the Druid Theatre.

My favourite painting was called 'Direction' which featured a pub scene. It was full of life and drama that centered around a barman behind a counter. Mick's exhibition will run until 15th May 2024.

Michael Canning at Oliver Sears

🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴

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.
