Gary Coyle At Kevin Kavanagh

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.

Paul Mc Kinley at Kevin Kavanagh

Last night, I attended Paul McKinley's exhibition at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery called 'Pomegranate'. The venue was packed. Paul's paintings were quite varied in size and subject matter. These paintings included landscapes, interiors and abandoned places like an empty swimming pool. His exhibition will run until 15th July at Chancery Lane, Dublin 8.

Unassembled at the Lab

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 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.

Margaret Corcoran at the Kevin Kavanagh

I attended the opening of Margaret Corcoran's exhibition 'Goddesses and Icons' at the Kevin kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The Venue was packed and the atmosphere was relaxed. There was lots of lovely portraits mainly painted in watercolors. My favorite paintings were 'Blossoming', 'Artemis' and 'Athena'. 'Blossoming' featured a statue standing in a cornucopia of blossoms done in oil on linen. 'Artemus' and 'Athena' were portraits created with water-based oil on canvas. Margaret's exhibition will run until the 20th May 2023.

Classy.

Salvatore of Lucan at Kevin Kavanagh

Tonight, I attended the opening of Salvatore's exhibition at Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The event was well attended and had a lively atmosphere.

Salvatore's paintings came in different shapes and sizes. One painting called 'Tiny Nude' was just 5 cm x 5 cm. My favourite painting was shaped like a heart with the title 'Heart Shaped Canvas'. Its subject matter featuring a bottom was simple and clever. Another painting which was circular had what I considered the humorous title of 'Mother With A Bad Back'. Most of Salvatore's paintings formated in the usual rectangles and squares measured up to 150 cm x 150 cm. His exhibition called 'Fancy Situations will run until 29th June 2024.
