May 2012 - 'I am drawn to the temporal in landscape - the constantly changing light, the seasons, waiting for a grey sky to clear or the fleeting light of dawn and twilight. I try to capture how it is to be in that moment and place. I am obsessed with colour and light - the juxtaposition of colours, how colours affect and influence one another. I use the landscape around me to explore this, looking to colourful tree blossom, twilight skies, and dark storms with light breaking through. I look through the landscape, simplifying the image, exploring the negative space, searching for what I can use. I often lean towards abstraction, but try to hold on to figurative elements. The practice and the process of actually making the painting is important to me. I love to use painterly brush marks. I put down a colour and respond to it, layer by layer. Incorporating washes, flat spray paint and scratches to allow the painting to evolve - always struggling to find balance in the finished work". Lisa Ballard

Eileen Meagher - Solo Show

Gormleys Fine Art - Dublin - 24th May - 7th Jun 2012
25 South Frederick St, Dublin 2, Tel: +353 (0) 1 6729031

Mar 2012 - Eileen Meagher depicts a rural Ireland, a perspective of the west of Ireland, which emulates nature and it remoteness, emphasising the solitude of the west of Ireland.
Her landscapes depict the remaining remnants of an untouched land devoid of urbanisation. It is difficult to consider paintings of the west of Ireland without recalling the work of Paul Henry; Eileen Meagher’s work draws similarities in that she depicts that quintessential Irish landscape rather than a region of distinct local character. Although Eileen Meagher ‘s work often recalls a place in name, areas from the Connemara region such as Clifden or Maam Valley, her style of painting contains a distinct personal signature. The prominence of the sky in her work is offset by the rugged marks of the mountainous horizon, characteristics that lend her paintings this distinct style. Eileen Meagher’s painting offers us an iconography of the west of Ireland.

Jonny McEwen - "At Home"

Tom Caldwell Gallery - Belfast - 24th Apr - 24th May 2012

Apr 2012 - Caldwell's are currently running a series of exhibitions called “AT HOME” - various artists have set up their studios in the gallery - now Jonny McEwen rises to the challenge, You will see current work and older works (at older prices) and you can see McEwen working at his easel - please call the gallery to confirm times if you want to see McEwen at work. We are told he is relishing the opportunity and sees his studio as an “installation” within the gallery.
This show runs concurrently with the installation of what must be one of the largest pieces of public art in Northern Ireland. The Skainos building on East Belfast’s Lower Newtownards Rd will be clad in 44 x 4 metres high metal panels individually created by McEwen. He worked for several months on the Isle of White in a specialist workshop applying the images to the metal panels using enamel paint which was then fired in a furnace to fix the material making the images an integral part of the metal plates. Opens 24th April.

"The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot."


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.
