DONALD TESKEY  Haven to Haven:  Paintings and Prints

O’Driscoll Building, Levis Quay
Skibbereen, Co. Cork

July 12 – August 4, 2019

Hours 11 – 5 every day

For more than two decades, Donald Teskey has visited West Cork, drawn to its embracing, sometimes dramatic landscapes of sea edges, harbour towns, mountains, forests, farms and waterways.

In July and early August, the Skibbereen Arts Festival presents Haven to Haven, bringing together 40 of Teskey’s paintings from the Mizen to the Beara peninsulas, as well as Gougane Bara, the Gearagh and places in between.  Also featured are 12 of his seascape carborundum prints, the first time this work will be shown together.  This large exhibition is curated by Catherine Hammond.  For further information, go here.

November 1 – 4, 2018
RHA, Ely Place, Dublin 2

Once again we will bring an outstanding group of paintings to this important fair, including work by William Crozier, Angela Fewer, Carol Hodder, Oonagh Hurley, Helena Korpela, Janet Murran, Danny Osborne, Paul Ringrose, Jacqueline Stanley, and Catherine Weld, a mix of established and emerging artists, mostly from Cork.  Go here for details.  I look forward to seeing you at the RHA!

Catherine Hammond, lecturer
at West Cork College, Creagh, Skibbereen

This eight-week course will survey painting from the mid-19^th century through the end of World War II.  While we will look at a lot of “isms”:  Realism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Symbolism, etc., we’ll learn to interpret and enjoy different styles of painting and review ideas and approaches that artists continue to work with today.

Tuesdays 11 am to 1 pm, October 2 to November 27  Cost: €110

Space is limited.  Please contact 087 754 7665 to register.
