Margo Banks At Solomon Fine Art

Roisin O’Farrell at the Doorway Gallery

I went to the opening of Roisin O’Farrell’s exhibition ‘Silver \ Paper \ Gold’ at the Doorway Gallery, last night. It was packed. Roisin’s paintings looked fresh and full of life as if she had plenty of inspiration in painting them. I particularly loved her paintings of pieces of cutlery lying side by side on polished surfaces surrounded by wallpaper. It’s a simple idea which I had not seen before. The Doorway Gallery is at 24 South Fredrick Street, Dublin 2. Classy. 

Serena Caulfield at the Solomon

Just attended the opening of Serena Caulfield's exhibition 'Dream Baby Dream' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 D02 T802. It was well attended and had a lively atmosphere. I liked Serena's horses and her her use of the colour yellow in many of her paintings. Her exhibition will run until 3rd Feb 2024.

Victoria Morton and Merlin James at the Kerlin

Last Thursday, I attended the opening of Double Shuffle at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, South Anne Street, Dublin D02 A028. Double Shuufle is an exhibition of work by Victoria Morton and Merlin James. The opening started at 5:00 so it took a while for the venue to fill up with people. The artwork on view consisted of paintings and wall-mounted sculptures in various media. I enjoyed viewing the large painting by Victoria Morten called 'About Listening'. It was full of color and life. Merlin's artwork was more understated. I liked his paintings titled 'Pier' and 'Sky'. Double Shuffle will run until 8th July 2023.

Classy.

O'Mhaonaigh at Kevin Kavanagh

Just back from the opening of Sinéad Ní Mhaonaigh's exhibition 'Dwelling' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dub 8. Most of Sinéad's paintings were the same shape and size which gave consistency to her exhibition. My favourite painting was the large yellow one called 'Dweling' because it was cheerful. The venue was busy, the atmosphere lively. Sinéad's exhibition will run until 2nd Mar 2024.

Michael Canning at Oliver Sears

🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴

I attended the opening the Michael Canning's exhibition 'Les Yeux' tonight at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 33 Fitzwilliam Square Upper, Dublin 2 tonight. The event was quiet and informal. I loved Micheal's paintings of plants set against plain backgrounds. The fine detail of the twigs and leaves contrasted with the simplicity of sky and minimalist landscapes. His three small paintings of tree trunks intrigued me. To my eye, they were a new development in his work. His exhibition will run until 13th June 2025.

Sinead Ni Mhaonaigh at the Kerlin

Tonight, I attended the opening of Sinead Ni Mhaonaigh's exhibition 'Teorainn' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery. I enjoyed viewing her paintings especially the more hazy ones with less detail. The venue was busy with a relaxed atmosphere. Sinead's exhibition will run until 29th Feb 2020 at Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chanery Lane, Dub 8.

Visiting the RHA

Yesterday, I visited the RHA, 15 Ely Place, Dublin 2 to see the 188th RHA Annual Exhibition on its last day. It was my second time attending this show and was worth the effort. I enjoyed viewing work by familiar artists such as Ken Drew, Richard Gorman, Eithne Jordan, Alice Maher, Mick O’Dea, John Shinners and Donald Teskey along with some new names. Classy.
