Hansel’s House

Tom Climent

15 May 2007 - 06 September 2007

Kevin Kavanagh is pleased to present Hansel’s House an exhibition of four large paintings by Tom Climent.

Hansel’s House is a return to the subject matter of earlier works in which Climent explored interior space. Climent’s new paintings, influenced by the Dutch Painters particularly Vermeer, suggest a narrative by the placing of the figure within an interior. Climent paints in an intuitive way trying to create an emotional resonance within his work. His paintings are open ended but have a suggestion of something tangible realised by the figure set in the interior space.



Tom Climent was born in Cork in 1970 and studied at the Crawford College of Art from 1991 to 1995.

Solo exhibitions include New Paintings at the Fenton Gallery in 2003 and Pure at Temple Bar gallery, Dublin in 1997. In 1997 he won The Tony O’Malley Travel Award and the Victor Treacy Award at the Butler Gallery, Killenny in 1996.

This exhibition is in association with the Fenton Gallery, Cork.
