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 13^th 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 29^th April. For more information please contact: Norman Villa Gallery Tel:091 521131  Email: info@normanvillagallery.com Web: www.normanvillagallery.com
