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.

Robert Ballagh At Gorry
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.
