One, Two. One, Two. Testing...
My new Website just went live. It's still very much a work in progress - I'll be adding much more, and refining the layout over the next little while.
Pride of place
Anyone else think that this Heineken sign should be replaced with something a bit more appropriate? It's in such a prominent location, at the end of our "premier street" no less...it's a shame that there's not something there that we can look at and feel proud of, or amazed by, as we go by on our ways...economics dictate I guess.
187th RHA Annual Exhibition
Delighted that two of my photos have been selected for inclusion in the 187th RHA Annual Exhibition. I have always enjoyed my times browsing through these yearly collections, gathered from such a huge variety of artists and disciplines.
I'm feeling very chuffed that this time my work will join their's. The show runs from the 23rd May - 12th August 2017.
From Darkness Into Light - DUBLIN
I am very excited to announce an exhibition/sale of my Dublin photographs, in support of the wonderful people at Pieta House. The event will take place on the 5th May 2017, in a brilliant unit generously provided by the good people at the CHQ building, Custom House Quay, Dublin - just prior to Pieta House’s annual walk from Darkness into Light.
Its been a long and enjoyable experience creating these images; learning techniques that make me view the city differently now than I ever did before. I've only just begun, and am excited about the possibilities as I explore the craft further.
The images are A2 Giclée prints from the Copperhouse Gallery, Synge Street, and are all set off with beautiful walnut frames and non-reflective glazing by Morris Deegan from Frame Foundry, Stoneybatter. My photos have never looked so good.
Also, on the night I’ll be holding a raffle. An additional print, of the winner’s choice from the pieces on show, will be prepared and framed up for them.
There’ll be good tunes and fine vittles to get you started out for the weekend. You might even end up with a new view upon your wall…all for a great cause.
Hopefully see you there.
That's how it starts...
And stops
RHA Submissions
I have submitted 3 of my Dublin images for consideration for Ireland’s oldest and largest open submission exhibition, the RHA's Annual Exhibition - now in it's 187th year. Open to all artists working in paint, drawing, print, sculpture, photography and architecture, it attracts a large public and critical audience.
I've never submitted work of mine before. I've never felt confident about my work before. I do know that what I submitted is the very best I can do, presented as well as it can be presented. Here's hoping that's good enough.
