Michael Canning at Oliver Sears Gallery

Last night, I attended the opening of Michael Canning’s exhibition ‘Your Cyclical Natures Sculpture Painting Drawing’ at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. I thought the sculptures on show really complimented the paintings. The atmosphere at the opening was relaxed. I met Michael. He was lovely. Michael’s exhibition will continue until 18th October. Classy. 

Gerard Hegarty at Ranelagh Arts Centre.

Last night, I attended the opening of Gerard Hegarty’s exhibition ‘The Roads Less Travelled’ at Ranelagh Arts Centre, 26 Ranelagh, Dublin 6. There was a lovely play of colour and plenty of life in Gerard’s paintings. I saw the influence of Paul Cezanne in many of his landscapes and Edouard Manet in his seascapes. It was a beautiful evening and the musician who attended was very good, Gerard’s exhibition will run until 28th August 2018.   

Sean Conlon at In Spire Galerie

Tonight, I attended the opening of Sean Conlon’s exhibition ‘The Empowerment of Nature’. Sean was very nice and I enjoyed viewing his work especially his woodland scenes like ‘The Bluebell Place’ and ‘Sunday Evening at Emo’. The music was complimenting the show was excellent. Classy. 

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.  

Clayworks at the Printworks

I attended the opening of ‘Clayworks at the Printworks’ at Dublin Castle, Dame St, Dub 2 last Saturday 7th July 2018. The event, also the annual Ceramics Ireland Open Submission Members Exhibition, was well attended in a relaxed atmosphere. There was everything on view ranging from contemporary domestic ware through to decorate bowls to abstract installations. As a member of Ceramics Ireland, I had submitted a piece. Get a load of all these eyes. 

I called my piece ‘All Eyes For You’.

 ‘Clayworks at the Printworks’ will run until 29th July 2018. Classy.  

Oliver Sears Gallery

Last night, I attended the opening of Catherine Owens’ exhibition ‘6 am’ at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth St, Dub 2. The gallery was packed. Everyone there was very friendly. It was a treat to view work that looked a bit different. The curtains and LED lights added to the effect of seeing something new. Catherine’s show will run until 31st July 2018. Classy. 

Mick O’Dea at Kevin Kavanagh

Last night, I attended the opening of Mick O’Dea’s exhibition at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin  8. The gallery was packed. Mick’s portraits were full of life. It was worth the effort going. This exhibition called ‘Kilkenny Festival Portraits 2015 - 17′ will run until 30th June. Classy.

The Open Window Gallery

Last Sunday, I attended the opening of the Summer show at the Open Window Gallery, 205 Rathmines Rd Lwr, Rathmines, Dub 6. The Gallery was packed and there was a good mixture of work on view. Classy.

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

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.

Ranellagh Arts Centre

Last Wednesday, I popped into Ranelagh Arts Centre to see Anna Hryniewicz’s colourful paintings. I remember most Anna’s combination of bright yellow and a deep fluorescent pink in many of her paintings. Anna’s preoccupations with Astronomy and children’s daydreaming stayed with me. At least, that was how I interpreted the titles which she gave to her paintings. Going to her exhibition was worth the walk. Classy.

Kevin Kavanagh Gallery

Last night, I attended the opening of Sinead Ni Mhaonaigh’s latest exhibition at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery called ‘Achar’. Loved the combination of colours especially where they appeared in dapple patterns. Sinead’s exhibition will run until 26th May 2018. Classy.    

At Solomon Fine Art

Last Wednesday, I saw Kieran Crowley’s solo exhibition at Solomon Fine Art on Balfe Street off Grafton Street. Loved the amount of work that he had put into creating each artwork especially the drawings. Beautiful combination of colours in the fore and background. His portraits have personality. Travelling to Solomon Fine Art was worth the effort. Kieran’s exhibition will run until 5th May 2018.        

Classy.

I am taking part in the South Dublin Life Drawing Exhibion at Ranellagh Arts Centre, 26 Ranellagh Rd, Ranellagh, Dublin 6 running until 16th April. Last night, I attended the opening which was packed. Sandra.

Oliver Sears Gallery

Last night, I attended the opening of Claire Curneen and Keith Wilson’s joint exhibition at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth St, Dub 2.. It was worth the effort. Loved Claire’s piece called ‘Rain’ and admired Keith’series of 30 small paintings  ‘Where The Light Falls’. Met both artists. They were very nice. Their exhibition will run until 3rd May. Classy.    

At Hendrons

I attended the opening of the latest art exhibition at Hendrons, 40 Dominic St. Upr, Dub 7 last night. The work on show consisting mainly of photography was atmospheric and evocative. I liked each person’s work for different reasons. These was one animated video played in another room. However, I did not watch the whole video because it was a cold night and I needed to keep moving. The crowd I met at Hendrons were lovely: all warm and friendly. Sandra.

Just Practising

I want to spend a few minutes practising some blogging.    Over the coming weeks, I hope to gain in confidence.    I need to become more familiar with using Tumblr.       

Last night, I attended the opening of an art exhibition by the painter Donald Teskey and really enjoyed it.    I loved his change of subject matter from sea and landscapes to riverside scenes.    It was worth the effort going.    

Donald Teskey’s exhibition will continue until 15th Mar 2018 at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2.
