Helen O’Leary: The Cost of Things That Matter

An exhibition of paintings that explore how order forms from chaos opened July 29th and runs through August 16, 2006. In her work, O’Leary explores the technical assumptions of what makes a painting and questions whether painting is a process or a product. She is also interested in how form emerges from chaos.

Born in Co. Wexford, O’Leary was educated at the Art Institute of Chicago. She now teaches at Pennsylvania State University and spends part of each year in Co. Leitrim. She has show extensively in New York and Chicago, and at the Kerlin and Hallward galleries in Dublin.
