Exhibition continues until 7th June 2008
This innovative two-person show by Maev Lenaghan and Yoko Akino, investigates universal themes of environment and the human image. Although the basis for Lenaghan’s work lies in representation she observes her subject matter sidelong and laterally, touching on the essential need to communicate. These prints are stories without narrative. Yoko Akino is renowned for her imaginative graphic statuesque figures set against backgrounds of intricate and geometric design. The title of this show reflects the artists’ wish to make art drawing on their imagination and reality.

'Ties' by Paula Henihan and new works by Felicity Clear open in the Galway Arts Centre, Gallery 2 and 3 respectively, at 6pm on Thursday 8th May 2008.

'A terrible beauty' by Anne O'Byrne

Artspace studios is proud to announce another exhibition from one of our artists, ‘A terrible beauty’ by Anne O’Byrne opens on the 9th of May @6pm in The Town Hall Theatre Gallery.
Anne's art is concerned with issues of displacement and identity. She draws her inspiration from the landscape, seascapes and riverscapes that surround her. She is exploring the whole concept of how our surroundings affect the psyche.
In this changing economic and environmental atmosphere it can be difficult for the human mind to make sense of identity. Using colour, form and smooth texture Anne translates her feelings that flow from these scapes, resulting in deep intuitive works.
The exhibition runs until 28th May 2008!

Solo Exhibition of New Work by Artspace Director Catherine O' Leanachain opens in the Norman Villa Gallery 13th April
A solo exhibition of new paintings “Night and Day” by Catherine O’Leanachain the Director of Artspace Studios opens in the Norman Villa Gallery, Salthill, Galway on 13th April at 6.00 pm.
The guest speaker is Hilary Morley the Creative Project Manager .
The exhibition addresses the dual nature of the West of Ireland Landscape, the intimacy of the land, field, rocks, sheltering trees and the residue of human presence versus the majesty of its natural elements, the wild winter sea the rolling howling winds, the changing moods of the grey skies. O’Leananchain intuitively deals with her subject in a symbolic manner bordering on abstraction utilising natural materials like twigs and bog grass to draw with pigments, inks and oils as a cathartic link between past, present and future.
Exhibition continues until 29th April. For more information please contact: Norman Villa Gallery Tel:091 521131 Email: info@normanvillagallery.com Web: www.normanvillagallery.com
