Gary Coyle at Kevin Kavanagh
âš«âš«âš«
I attended the opening of Gary Colye's exhibition 'Terra Cognita' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, (Chancery Lane, Dublin 8) tonight. It was packed.
âš«âš«âš«
My favorite drawing was After The Flood'. I loved the simplicity of this image. Three of the walls in the gallery were decorated in green. The forth wall was done in red. All were decorated with natural forms.
âš«âš«âš«
I also liked in the drawing 'In A Forest Clearing'. It was the most striking artwork with the eye in its centre.

Gary's exhibition will continue until the 15th March 2025.

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.

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.
