Last night, I attended the opening of ‘Unassembled’ at the Lab Arts Centre featuring the work of ten artists completing the IADT Masters in Art and Research Collaboration (ARC). The artists, having studied at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology include Brenda Brady, Anishta Chooramun, Heather Cody, Penelope Collins, Collette Farnon, Lisa Freeman, Marie-Louise Halpenny, Marie Phelan, Dylan Ryan & Audrey Walshe. The venue was packed making it difficult to see any of the work. However, the speeches were positive and short. I meet a few nice people at the venue. ‘Unassembled’ will run until Sun 19th Jan 2020 at the Lab, 1 Foley St., Dub 1.
Classy.
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.
Tonight, I attended the opening of Conor Foy's exhibition 'Bang Bang' at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. The venue was busy and had a relaxed pleasant atmosphere. I was intrigued that Conor had painted all of his paintings on birch panels. Most of his artworks feature small groups of people located in plain backgrounds like 'Gold Comfort', three figures huddled together against a gold leaf expanse. Some paintings evoke snowy scenes eg 'JB' and '3'. I particularly liked Conor's portraits such as 'Red Cap', 'Boy Golden' and '2024'. His exhibition will run until 28th Sept 2024.

There was plenty of variety of artworks at the opening of the Spring Exhibition at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. Work included figurative and abstract sculptures. The same variation with the paintings on show. Attached are photos of a few of my favorite artworks.
Surface by Ana Duncan
Lots of personality in the face.
Melodious Intrigue by Margaret Egan
The scene in this painting appears enigmatic.

Tonight, I attended the opening of Tom Climent's exhibition 'Pilgrim' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe St., Dub 2 D02 T802. The opening was lively and well attended. Most of Tom's paintings sold.
I particularly liked the translucent and shimmering quality of his use of color in his paintings. Tom's exhibition will run until 25th May 2024.
Classy 👀
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.
Just practising with Tumblr. I've uploaded a my second image so far. Classy Harmony Creation.
