As the Christmas season approaches, one might have to search a little harder for some Christmas spirit in Ireland this year. But if you find yourself in need of some relief from the economic doom and gloom, then a visit to the Solas art gallery in Ballinamore might be just the thing, as the gallery’s group exhibition is sure to delight all who see it. The annual Christmas exhibition has been a great success for the gallery to date, with all members invited to submit work, ensuring there is something here to suit every taste. The artists have pulled out all the stops this year, resulting in a truly exciting and varied collection of work.
The exhibition will be opened by Dublin-born artist Carmel Baker. Carmel has been closely involved with the Solas group since she moved to Leitrim in 2007, and is a regular exhibitor at the gallery.
So why not come along on opening night and enjoy some mulled wine and other festive goodies, or perhaps you might indeed find the perfect gift for someone special. The Christmas exhibition opens on Friday 3rd December at 7.30pm and runs until Thurs, Jan 13th 2011. All are welcome to come along at any time during gallery opening hours.
Paintings evolve over years of gathered images, motifs emerging
and receding, stories being retold and reimagined. The Friday still-life was
painted in the hub of a wintry city, ghostly creaking on the studio floorboards,
a street din of traffic and voices outside. More recent work was accompanied
by birdsong and leaves rustling in the breeze. Visitants wandered onto one canvas, from a dusky wood. They lingered in the memory like shades.
As an artist I return to places over time, picking up the threads of a visual story. Scenes change but are also restored, reafirmed. Places are always renewing themselves- a shelf of rock by a thundering sea, beaches in a winter light, fields overshadowed by mountains, forests in seasonal flux. I draw the image out, build it up in waves of colour, try to strike the right note; the afterglow of memory
Hi guys,
Mirenda Rosenberg is planning a weekend long festival of music and art to be held in the Mount Errigal hotel in Letterkenny Co. Donegal the last weekend of February.
The music line-up looks terrific so it should attract a wide range of people.
I will be running the art exhibition in one of the rooms in which there is a raised stage area that will be dedicated to the art and craft activities with parents and children, or anyone else who’s interested.
The charity is autism so there will be a focus on art activities for children with special needs.
There is a nice space which will be perfect for the artwork to be hung, so what I’m proposing is that all artists keep their pieces to an average size… , A4 – A3 maybe?
If anyone feels that they would like to participate, just reply to this post and we’ll get a list of exhibitors and artwork started…
