Celebrating the 90th year of the important Cork-born artist, Patrick Scott, the Catherine Hammond Gallery will feature an exhibition of his iconic prints, gestural drawings and sculpture during the month of July.
One of Ireland’s most important and highly regarded living artists, Scott is known for his quiet, contemplative abstract work which is instantly recognizable yet infinitely varied. It’s pared back structure, zen-like meditative quality, and beautiful materials offer a radiant unity and consonance.
Scott’s work is in all major Irish public collections and he has been widely written about, most recently in the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery book for his retrospective exhibition there in 2002. In 2007, Scott, who is a founding member of Aosdána, was conferred with the title of Saoi, the highest honour that can be bestowed upon an Irish artist.
The exhibition will feature 16 recent prints (of which 14 can be seen on the gallery web site), some of which are the last of the editions, along with 4 rare gestural drawings, and 1 sculpture.
The gallery is open again for its 7th season. During the Patrick’s Day week, it will be be open Wednesday to Friday from 12 to 5, and then will open again for the Easter bank holiday weekend and for the May 1st bank holiday weekend. If you wish to visit at other times, please phone 027 63332; we can usually accommodate appointments and would be happy to see you!
June 26 to July 22, 2009
We are pleased to open the summer season with an exhibition of Jacqueline Stanley’s paintings and drawings celebrating the abundance and vibrant colour of the West Cork landscape and its flowers. It is an exciting opportunity to see work in the environment that inspired it.
Known for her strong sense of line and colour, Stanley has been interpreting the landscape of the southwest for nearly 20 years. In addition to a strong sense of place, her work conveys the lush, sometimes startling colours of spring and summer of the semi-tropical landscape. Wildflowers, abundant meadows, rolling hills, hidden coves, sparkling seas, all are part of the delights of West Cork.
The exhibition will be opened on Saturday, June 27th by London gallerist, Angela Flowers, at a reception from 3 to 5 pm.
Born in England, Jacqueline Stanley has lived and worked in Ireland since 1975. She has shown extensively in Ireland and the UK, and her work is in many important public collections. This is her second solo exhibition at the Catherine Hammond Gallery.
As of June 26, the gallery will be open six days a week, Tuesday to Sunday, from 11 to 6.
