Curate, connect, and discover
Tonight, I attended 'Arcadia', the opening of Paul Winstanley's latest exhibition at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, Dublin 2. His paintings, oil on linen or oil on panel were the right sizes for their subject matter. The larger artworks like 'Landscape With Clouds II' (2024) looked majestic but were too dark and brown for my liking. ⛰ Paul's smaller paintings from his body of work, 'The Falls' featuring waterfalls had more movement and colour in them. 💧 My favourite painting was 'Veil 30' (2024) which comprised a closed net curtain with a landscape beyond it. Paul's exhibition will run until 18th Jan 2025. 📰 It was well worth going.

Mark Francis at the Kerlin
This evening, I attended the opening of Mark Francis' exhibition 'Accustic Oceans' at the Ketlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, South Anne Street, Dublin 2. The venue was packed with a lively atmosphere. There was plenty of chat.
The colours in Mark's paintings shimmered against each other. These compositions were created with vertical narrow stripes in pale and dark colours. I liked his red and black paintings such as 'Subtonic' and 'Dubmagnet'. They appeared, to my eye, extra rich and warm.
Mark's exhibition will run until 24th Aug 2024. It was well worth going.
