Tim Goulding: Clouds

Evening Sky

A long anti­cip­ated exhib­i­tion of new work by Beara artist Tim Goulding opens on Friday, August 12th, with the recep­tion on Saturday, August 13 from 3 — 5 pm.

Clouds will be opened by Sally McKenna. Says the artist, “Most of us construct clouds, be they confu­sions or castles in the air. The sky has adam­antly no opinion of these.”  These new paint­ings, from 2010 and 2011, are simply welcoming spaces. They are ethereal and uplifting and create a calm and enlight­ening atmosphere.

Goulding was born in Dublin in 1945 and has lived and worked on the Beara penin­sula in West Cork since 1969. He is a member of AOSDANA, the group estab­lished by the Irish Arts Council to honour those artists whose work has made an outstanding contri­bu­tion to the arts in Ireland. He has exhib­ited extens­ively, including solo shows in Ireland, England, Portugal and the USA. His work is notable for its multi­far­ious evol­u­tions from a predom­in­ately land based inspir­a­tion to the current abstract paintings.

Siobhan McDonald’s “Silent Sound” opens July 16

Invisible Atmosphere

An exhib­i­tion of new work by this important Dublin painter opens July 16 and runs until August 11. The opening recep­tion is Saturday, July 16 from 3 to 5 pm, and a preview is avail­able in the gallery on Friday, July 15.

As a painter, Siobhán McDonald exam­ines the links between science and art, exploring processes of entropy and the potency of geolo­gical time. Her journey to Iceland in 2010 inspired this new body of work. She studied the Eyjafjallajokull volcano six weeks after it had exploded, with a specific interest in how the atmo­sphere was altered. The paint­ings exude a feeling of other-worldliness. Much of the imagery has deep time geolo­gical refer­ence to vast unpop­u­lated envir­on­ments of land, space and sky. They are depic­tions of curious places that speak of hidden forces, chaotic unpre­dict­ab­ility and ener­gies boiling beneath the surface.
