The 2012 season brings new work and new artists to the gallery. A group show of gallery artists features over 50 works by artists who have shown here before (Jonathan Hunter, Ann Quinn, Leonard Sheil, Eilis O’Connell, Mary Canty, Bernadette Kiely, Cormac Boydell, Tom Climent, Frances Ryan, Katherine Boucher Beug, Patrick Scott, and Sara Flynn) and work by artists new to the gallery (Wesley Triggs, Avril Lyons, Maxine Greer, and a new print by Donald Teskey).
We look forward to seeing you soon!
The summer is always busy in West Cork, and this year, the Catherine Hammond Gallery has a stellar lineup of exhibitions:
First, from June 8th to July 11th, Hughie O’Donoghue: Venice Project will feature more than two dozen new works made in Venice during the summer of 2011. This is the second time that O’Donoghue has shown at the Catherine Hammond Gallery.
In this large show, O’Donoghue explores the locus of memory evoked in stone sculptures he found throughout Venice. These colourful monotypes are like oil sketches on paper, unique works done with the help of a press. They offer exceptional value for collectors and everyone who admires O’Donoghue’s work.
Then, from July 13th to August 8th, Still Lifes: Regine Bartsch, Katherine Boucher Beug, Jane O’Malley, Suzy O’Mullane, offers a look at work by four of Ireland’s most interesting women artists working today in this classical genre. Each manipulates objects and their perception in fresh and energetic ways.
Finally, from August 10th to September 5th, Michael Canning will present new paintings, works on paper and sculpture. These are eerie and surreally beautiful modern studies of flowers and plants whose precision paradoxically leaves everything uncertain.
Mark your calendars!
The exhibition is on view Tuesday to Sunday from 11 to 6 until September 11th.
