Anders At Reds Gallery

Oliver Sears Gallery

Last Thursday, I attended the opening of Sarah Walker’s exhibition ‘The Drawings On The Sky’ at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth St, Dub 2. I enjoyed it very much and particularly loved her tapestries featuring a single tree like ‘Red Tree’, ‘Mauve Tree’ and ‘Spring Tree’. Sarah’s exhibition will run until 22nd June. The opening itself was well attended. I also had a quick look at the work of Jose Maria Yague Manzanares but it did not appeal to me. His exhibition is called ‘Wolf’ and will run to 22nd June Classy

Jim Turner at Zozimus

Last night, I attended the opening of Jim Turner’s ‘Introspective Retrospective’ at Gallery Zozimus. The place was packed with people who knew Jim. As few sales were made. I particularly loved Jim’s vessels with their subtle use of colour and simplicity of form. Jim’s wonderful exhibition will continue until 30th Sept 2018 at Gallery Zozimus, 56 Frances Street, Dublin 8. Classy. 

Sheltered Charity at the Copper House

This evening, I saw the exhibition Sheltered Charity Through The Arrs held at the Copper House Gallery, St. Kevin’s Cottages, off Symge St., Dub 8. A wide variety of work to view in a nice atmosphere with good music. The exhibition is in support of the Peter Mc Verry Trust and will continue tomorrow from 11.00 am - 5.30 pm.

Classy.

Gallery Zozimus

Last Thursday, I attended the opening of Ostinelli and Priest’s exhibition ‘Animal Magic’ at Gallery Zozimus, 56 Francis Street, Dublin 8. I liked their more minimalist pieces like ‘Class Act’, ‘Charlotte Grey’ and ‘Rhino’. These pieces represent a greyhound, horse and rhino respectively. Their exhibition runs until 31st May. Classy.

Margaret Egan at Solomon

Last Wednesday, I saw Margaret Egan’s exhibition ‘The Breath of Sound and Earth’ at Solomon Fine Art. I loved the atmospheric quality of her paintings. The work depicting people was full of movement and had a nice line to each figure.  Her landscapes and seascapes were dark and brooding is a pleasing sense. I thought that all four horses in ‘The Sound of the Earth’ were well portrayed. Margaret’s exhibition with continue until 2nd March 2019 at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 beside the Westbury Hotel.   

Classy

Guggi at the Kerlin

Last Thurs 12th Dec, I attended the opening of Guggi's exhibition 'Broken' at the Kerlin Gallery. The gallery was packed but I managed to see as all of Guggi's work which was worth the effort. There were lots of nice people to meet in a relaxed atmosphere. I had a wonderful night and even met Guggi. His exhibition will continue at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, Sth Anne's St., Dub 2 D02 A028 until 17th Jan 2020.

Classy.

Michael Wann at the Solomon

Tonight, I attended the opening of Michael Wann's exhibition 'The Old Grieving Fields' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. I enjoyed looking at his many drawings done in charcoal on paper. He had created most of his artworks in a nice compact size from 23 x 30 cm to 70 x 60 cm.

I will discuss my favourite drawings starting with 'Omens/Crows Arriving'. It appeared quite eye-catching with all the passing birds in flight.

Omens/Crows Arriving by Muchael Wann

His 'Controlled Explosion' was the most dramatic image in his exhibition.

Controlled Explosion by Michael Wann

I liked his attention to detail in his road images.

The Old Work Road by Michael Wann

The High Bog Road by Michael Wann

A joy to view. Both artworks were small and hung in their own alcove with a third artwork that was similar in dimensions and subject matter.

I found this image to be evocative.

Aerial 3, Night Visions by Michael Wann

It reminded me of a dystopian vision of the future with fires burning in the distance under a dark sky.

Then there was the striking composition of helicopters flying in loose formation.

Recon by Michael Wann

I liked the short title. It added a sense of storytelling to this image.

Michael's exhibition will run until 1st Mar 2025. It was well worth seeing it.

I’ve just realised that Tumblr is like Facebook.    The photos stay.     Classy Harmony Creation.
