Sean Conlon at In Spire Galerie

Tonight, I attended the opening of Sean Conlon’s exhibition ‘The Empowerment of Nature’. Sean was very nice and I enjoyed viewing his work especially his woodland scenes like ‘The Bluebell Place’ and ‘Sunday Evening at Emo’. The music was complimenting the show was excellent. Classy. 

Unassembled at the Lab

Last night, I attended the opening of ‘Unassembled’ at the Lab Arts Centre featuring the work of ten artists completing the IADT Masters in Art and Research Collaboration (ARC). The artists, having studied at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology include Brenda Brady, Anishta Chooramun, Heather Cody, Penelope Collins, Collette Farnon, Lisa Freeman, Marie-Louise Halpenny, Marie Phelan, Dylan Ryan & Audrey Walshe. The venue was packed making it difficult to see any of the work. However, the speeches were positive and short. I meet a few nice people at the venue. ‘Unassembled’ will run until Sun 19th Jan 2020 at the Lab, 1 Foley St., Dub 1. 

Classy.

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.
