Jan 2012 - The first major Northern exhibition of 2012 features Jane Swanston whose collectors include contemporary artists and savvy investors who rate her as one of the best Irish painters of her generation. Following her Masters in Fine Art, she now works in Co Down. A prize-winning artist, Swanston has exhibited widely, including 7 solo shows in the last 6 years. She has been selected many times at the Royal Ulster Academy.
"We face a heightened sense of uncertainty. Places in which we wait - for bad or good news, for truth, for love, for enlightenment or for redemption. It is a stilled, solitary moment in time where the breath is held - a little death. In this new work, I am interested in describing a psychological or spiritual space within the banality of real spaces. Trying to explore the possibility of evoking in a painting the expression of our fragility- those stilled moments in time where we sit expectantly on the hushed and fluttering edges of some transformation". Jane Swanston

Jan 2012 - Derry-born Brian Ferran's new solo show presents an artist who has been awarded many prestigious awards and exhibited widely with more than 12 one-person exhibitions in the USA alone. Ferran's paintings can also be found in many major collections in Europe. He is an member of the RHA and the RUA and exhibits annually at the exhibitions of both institutions. Brian Ferran trained and taught as an art teacher and on receipt of a Leverhulme European Scholarship he spent a year at the Brera Academy of Fine Art in Milan. In 1966 he joined the staff of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland - becoming Chief Executive in the early 1990s. During 1980, he was the Commissioner for Northern Ireland at the Paris Biennale and in 1985 was the Ireland Commissioner at Sao Paulo in Brazil. His persistent themes are Irish mythology and archaeology - places of myth and imagination. Ferran once said that his intention is to imbue his work with "a palpable intensity and a sense of magic".

John Keating - 'Life Fragments and Still Life'

Jan 2012 - Many of John Keating's compositions contain ripe and vibrant fruit. In discussion the symbolism of fruit arises, Keating notes the close relation of the human cycle to the observation of the ripening and decaying of fruit - an observation of transience. There is also the basic attraction in the ripeness of fruit, which can be seen in the vivid colours and rich observation of the items in his canvas.
Keating also discusses his preoccupation with working with objects coming into transition and capturing that fragment or transience, that moment of ripened fruit or blossoming flowers, lost in the atmosphere of light, with the poignant everyday object. As an artist Keating‘s own direction has changed over the years as he admits to be being more absorbed in the process now, in the iconography. In recent works he develops the surface of the canvas, allowing the different elements of daily life to manifest itself in the work.

Richard Gorman "Kozo"

Jan 2012 - Works on handmade Japanese paper using techniques including dyed paper pulp poured into moulds and gouache paint on paper made by the artist.  Richard Gorman made these in West Japan from 1999 - 2009. The gouaches, grew out of a personal research to find an authentic non-narrative means of pictorial expression. This enquiry led Gorman to look at diverse connected images such as early Italian renaissance painting, for example, Giovanni Bellini, Andrea Mantegna and Piero della Francesca, and Japanese Ukiyo-e ‘floating world’ woodblock prints, as well as Henri Matisse graphic works, including the ‘Jazz’ series 1947. These works are underpinned by a fairly rigorous geometrical logic, which far from acting as a constraint, have the effect of liberating the work into its own world of colour, edge, equilibrium and disequilibrium. The linear geometric under-drawing acts as an armature on which to hang the bright flat interlocking shapes on the paper surface. A personal favourite Irish artist.

Why Invest In Irish Art
Over the last few years the Irish art market grew faster than almost any other international art market worldwide. "Each year saw unprecedented records smashing those of the previous year," wrote David Britton in the Irish Arts Review. 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." Those days have changed - but despite the fall in the value of second-rate art, good Irish art continues to hold its own - supported by collectors who understand the cyclical nature of the art market.
