The Artists
Séighean Ó Draoi
Séighean Ó Draoi works mostly carving stone and wood. With sculptural work in national and international collections he has also worked on the restoration of Leinster House and the Vikings TV series. He had lived and taught sculpture in Derry and Donegal for ten years and has taken inspiration and mythology for some of his major works.
Paula
Kearney
Paula has brought together a body of work from over the years for this exhibition.
It is a journey using drawing materials and mixed media finally arriving at pure paint. She began this journey with detailed drawings of the figure going on to exploring; skulls, landscape and plant matter.
Conleth
Gent
Conleth Gent is an artist who works mainly in wood sculpture. His sculptures can be found in the permanent collections of University College Dublin, University College Cork and in many private and corporate collections in Ireland and abroad. The theme of his work varies from figurative to abstract and invariably harmonises with the woods unique individual grain pattern.
Maeve
Stafford
Maeve Stafford mixed media paintings are an exploration of colour and semi abstraction,reflecting the artists immediate environment.There is a nice balance between the real and the abstract. Losing myself in the detail is where my pleasure with the painting process lies. Hoping to create simple poetic pieces in an attempt to communicate my world.
