| Four Important Northern Artists |
|
A few years ago Gary Devon's vibrant, expressive work was compared to Roderic O'Conor and resulted in an RUA "Conor Prize" and invitation to join the RUA. We show work from this previously highly successful and much sought after period of his career. Dennis Kelly has a deep love of Irish Landscape and has taken inspiration from the ancient stones of Mayo and Kerry and the trees of the woods around his hometown of Belfast. James May's landscape inspired works are extracted from journeys across Ireland. May is fascinated with colour, mark making and texture and is an RUA Silver Medal winner. Audrey Smyth creates charged, atmospheric drawings, using charcoal - the full range of medium is explored, from intense shadows to soft hazy effects. She has an enduring passion for figures and animals - particularly dogs and horses. RUA "Conor" Prize winner last year.
This exhibition brings some important works to collectors attention at special prices that are not likely to be repeated.

| Summer Group Exhibition |
|
The Summer Group Exhibition features a broad selection of contemporary paintings, prints, sculpture and photography. A charming small oil 'Two Sheep' by Basil Blackshaw joins works by John Bellany, Neil Shawcross and Albert Irvin. Other gallery regulars such as Makiko Nakamura and Sarah Longley are represented and Ruth McHugh will exhibit two recent photographs in the Summer Exhibition. Two lively figurative paintings by Joseph O’Connor will also feature. His recent solo show at the Peppercanister Gallery in June was a great success and received critical appreciation. His very individual colour sense and quirky compositional style, with its powerful horizontal and diagonal rhythms, have appealed to many connoisseurs who have purchased his work, and watch his unique development with keen interest. The Summer Show also features sculptor Brian King and Deirdre McLoughlin. First time exhibitors with the gallery in this show include Anya Waterworth and Rosie McGurran.

| Julian Friers & Philip Childs |
|
Julian Friers and Philip Childs are leading Irish art representatives in wildlife and landscape painting. Both have a meticulous attention to detail and follow a strict and authentic study of their subject, ensuring the surroundings; body movement and settings are all compatible with their true nature. Julian Friers used a variety of media in his early years; recently he has come to rely almost exclusively on oil paint. His method owes much to the 'Irish Impressionists' by whom he has been strongly influenced. Working wet-in-wet combined with layering seems to invigorate the paint and lend itself well to the combination of science and expression. Philip Childs paints in both oils and acrylics on canvas. His has an innate ability to bring life to his subject. As a painter he is sensitive to the subtlety of light and shade, and to the character of the subject. Both painters are very collectable and are found in a number of prestigious public and private collections.

| Mixed Show |
Coloured Rain - Templepatrick -
To 28th June 09
 Inspired by the painting of the same name by the renowned artist Basil Blackshaw. Paradoxically the name is as simple or complex as the perspective the individual adopts, much like viewing a work of art itself. The word colour is self-explanatory with its obvious links to Art and everything around us. Rain being more subjective with a less obvious sense of connection!

 With Mill Cove Gallery charging €3 for an adult or €10 for a family up to 7 to visit it's sculpture exhibition - the credit crunch has finally touched the furthest reaches of the Irish art market. Although the sculpture garden is on 4 acres of mature gardens overlooking the sea, it's hard to see this strategy being a winner - however the gallery and studio are still free.

Why Invest In Irish Art
"The Irish art market has grown faster than any other international art market worldwide. Each year sees unprecedented records smashing those of the previous year," writes David Britton in the Irish Arts Review, and he ends,"it was a very good year for Irish art." Irish artists continue to set personal records at Sotheby's, Christie's and auction houses in Ireland itself....A couple of years ago, Forbes - the key magazine for the world's top entrepreneurs - commented that "since 1990, 20th-century Irish art, Dutch Old Masters and English sporting pictures have been the art market's three fastest-rising sectors - with the Irish climbing the most steeply."
