The Absence of Realism
April 16 – May 4 , 2013
The Lavit Gallery, Cork
The Absence of Realism focuses on artists working in the vein suggested by the title. The exhibition features the paintings of Ellen Barrett, Alan Boardman, Tom Climent, Sam Curtin, Michael Gemmell, Carol Hodder, Roisin McGuigan, Jacqueline O’Driscoll, Charlo Quain, Wesley Triggs and Sabine Weissbach .
The works in this exhibition may all have an absence of realistic description but “there is a sense we are looking at something which is familiar” which is what Wesley Triggs says about his own work but which could also apply to much of the other work in this show which creates expression through abstract means.

Forty Shades of Sky
1 – 16 Sept, Sean Hollywood Arts Centre, Newry Co. Down
An exhibition of work by Roisín McGuigan will open on Thursday 1st September at the Sean Hollywood Arts Centre, Newry. Although originally from the area, this will be the first exhibition of her work in Northern Ireland.
The exhibition contains work from the Sky Series, which looks at the visible boundary of our landscape with the focus on what happens above, rather than below it. In this fresh interpretation of the landscape genre the image has become universal not specific; these horizons and skies without their supporting landscapes can belong to anyone, anywhere. The existence of boundaries is undeniable, we are all familiar with them either personal or imposed, everyone has a boundary they either need or need to cross. In these paintings the sky evokes a range of feelings such as angst, torment, peace, freedom, while the blank horizon allows the viewer room to interpret it from their own personal perspective and context.
