Luan an tSléibhe (Judgement Day) at Draiocht

Geraldine O'Neill

04/10/2008 - 22/11/2008

Luan an tSléibhe is a major new body of work by Geraldine O’Neill. O’Neill is an artist whose practice is defined by a commitment to figurative and representational painting, a genre to which she brings a fresh and innovative approach. Song birds feature strongly in this series, each image provoking memory and familiarity, childhood, innocence, beauty and loss. O’Neill’s technique demonstrates her thorough knowledge of the art historical tradition of still life to which she adds a very modern twist and intelligent use of concept and allegory. A catalogue with texts by Brian McGuire and Medb Ruane has been published by Kevin Kavanagh and Draoicht to coincide with the exhibtion.

The exhibition was featured on The View, RTE 1 4 Nov 2008. Click here to watch the clip. (Viewable with RealPlayer)
