Winstanley at the Kerlin

Tonight, I attended 'Arcadia', the opening of Paul Winstanley's latest exhibition at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, Dublin 2. His paintings, oil on linen or oil on panel were the right sizes for their subject matter. The larger artworks like 'Landscape With Clouds II' (2024) looked majestic but were too dark and brown for my liking. ⛰ Paul's smaller paintings from his body of work, 'The Falls' featuring waterfalls had more movement and colour in them. 💧 My favourite painting was 'Veil 30' (2024) which comprised a closed net curtain with a landscape beyond it. Paul's exhibition will run until 18th Jan 2025. 📰 It was well worth going.

Meave Mc Carthy at the Molesworth

I had attended the opening of Meave Mc Carthy's exhibition 'Recollective Spaces at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. It was busy and had a friendly atmosphere. People came from and went to other events. Meave painted her oil paintings on linen, board or even panels. Her style was maticulous especially when it came to her buildings, raods and flowers. The world is at peace in her nocturnal images. Her portrayal of light under a night sky appealed to me. I thought that her large artwork 'Open Window' was the most striking. It's a change to look into a brightly lit interior rather than out at a sun drenched exterior. Her smaller painting 'Towards the mountain' was the most atmospheric. To my eye, it appeared to be a quiet moonlit scene. Her show will run until 31st Oct 2024.
