Rory Breslin - Some Attachments and Severance

LINENHALL GALLERY Friday 3rd - Saturday 25th September

An exciting exhibition of bronze sculptures and drawings by Mayo-based sculptor Rory Breslin. Though Breslin’s exquisitely executed works are based in figurative realism, the tensions and disfigurements within them create uneasy viewing, often evoking the Classical man/monster myths of antiquity. Breslin’s skill resides in his capacity to balance orthodox representation with at times a voracious and rich subconscious. A former lecturer in NCAD, and co-founder of the Head Sculpture Gallery in Dublin, Rory
Breslin has had numerous solo drawing and sculpture exhibitions, both nationally and farther afield (Europe, US) and has executed a large body of public commissions.

Vanessa Daws - Cascade

LINENHALL GALLERY Friday 1st - Saturday 30th October

An exhibition that combines painting, sculpture, drawing and animation in a tumbling, energetic series of visual artworks by Vanessa Daws. Cascade does not only reflect Vanessa’s intuitive process, where one artwork triggers and shapes the idea for the next, it also refers to the artist’s ongoing fascination with water, as inspiration and source of creative energy. Vanessa has exhibited widely in Ireland and in London, and her work is engaging and accessible to all ages. Cascade promises to be no exception.

Adm.: free

Official opening on Friday 1st October at 7.30pm. All welcome.
