This was a one evening preview of most of the work for the 'Floating World' exhibition at the Taylor Galleries Dublin, in September. The night was a HUGE success with 250 people attending and €1800 being raised for the Care Centre.

It was an opportunity for local people to see this state of the art facility before it is populated. It will cater for the needs of people with terminal illness and their families. See below:

INTRODUCTION to 'FLOATING WORLD' catalogue


The 'Floating World' paintings are visual variations on the theme of transparency, as in the nature of the world we see as real. In fact this reality forms and dissolves ceaselessly and any depiction of it is a snapshot of a time bound appearance. Thus any image could be deemed to be an image of this floating world. In these few pictures I have played around with trying to make equivalencies for the sensing of this outward instability; for the quiet joy that arises by itself when personhood fades (transparency) and the so often ignored 'background' is seen to be shining through the 10,000 things (as The Tao Te Ching describes The Creation).

Concomitantly the 'Songs of Silence' works were being painted, triggered by the quartz seams in rock that could be likened to some zany musical notation for nature spirits, if they were to exist. Again, despite the apparent solidity of these ancient formations, they live, 'breathe' and mutate while playing their frozen music.

Inevitably the pictures galloped off in their own directions as well, so it would be more accurate to say these are images produced by the artist's basic approach of 'see and play'.

NATIONAL GALLERY, DUBLIN
'Revelation'
9 APRIL - 28 SEPTEMBER 2008

Now open in the Print Gallery this spring is Revelation - an exciting collaboration with the Graphic Studio Dublin. The show consists of specially commissioned prints based around the theme of revelation, many of which have been inspired by the Gallery's extensive collection of Irish
and European art. Revelation - 'to make known something hidden' - can refer to religious faith, intellectual discovery and aspects of science and nature. In dealing with the profound concept of revelation, many of the prints embrace the traditional religious concept of revelation, whilst others focus on the philosophical or secular dimensions of the topic. The exhibition features 29 artists representing Graphic Studio printmakers and invited artists include Tim Goulding, Pamela Leonard, Yoko Akino, Stephen Lawlor, Jean Bardon, William Crozier, Guggi, John Kindness, Donald Teskey and Nigel Rolfe. An accompanying illustrated catalogue, edited by Anne Hodge, curator of the exhibition, will includes texts
by the artists and an essay by Mark Patrick Hederman,
a Benedictine monk and philosopher, who has written extensively on art and culture.

Organised in collaboration with Graphic Studio Dublin
