I also went to the opening of Anders' exhibition 'The Art of Subtle Collection' at Reds Gallery, 21 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 D02 TK33. The venue was busy. Plenty of people came. Anders' digital artworks were colourful and detailed. My two favourite artworks were abstract compositions of rectangles and stripes executed in warm colours. Anders' exhibition will run until Wed 14th May 2025. Reds Gallery is located up a few flights of stairs but is worth the climb.

I attended the opening the Michael Canning's exhibition 'Les Yeux' tonight at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 33 Fitzwilliam Square Upper, Dublin 2 tonight. The event was quiet and informal. I loved Micheal's paintings of plants set against plain backgrounds. The fine detail of the twigs and leaves contrasted with the simplicity of sky and minimalist landscapes. His three small paintings of tree trunks intrigued me. To my eye, they were a new development in his work. His exhibition will run until 13th June 2025.

I attended the opening of John Short's exhibition 'Horizons' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 tonight. The venue was packed.
I enjoyed viewing John's loose and spontaneous paintwork. He painted his paintings with watercolours and ink while including collage in some of them. My favourite paintings were wide and panoramic.
He had included four large ceramic pieces in his exhition. It was nice to see that he was trying a new medium to work in.

Spring Exhibition at Solomon Fine Art
There was plenty of variety of artworks at the opening of the Spring Exhibition at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. Work included figurative and abstract sculptures. The same variation with the paintings on show. Attached are photos of a few of my favorite artworks.
Surface by Ana Duncan
Lots of personality in the face.
Melodious Intrigue by Margaret Egan
The scene in this painting appears enigmatic.
Flex by Eilis O'Connell
Lovely composition
Clare Island Famine Ship by John Behan
I had always admired John's work.

I attended the packed opening of Kenny Mc Kendry' exhibition 'Rathlin, Portrait of an Island and Other Works' at the Gorry Gallery, 20 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. Kenny's paintings had a lovely sense of light in them. Many if them seemed to glow especially the seascapes. His portraits had plenty of personality. The faces well observed. His exhibition will run until 11th Apr 2025.

I attended the opening of Brian Harte's exhibition 'To The Harbour Place' at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 tonight. Most memorable, I found were his use of colours, especially blue, yellow and green. His paintings, done in oil on linen, appeared enigmatic. They featured interior scenes with abstracted figures in them.
My favourite painting was 'Heat' with its combination of yellow, red and orange.
Heat by Brian Harte
I also enjoyed viewing 'Alt (4 Person)' and 'P.Chair' hanging side by side with their complimentary colours.
Alt (4 Person) P.Chair
Both by Brian Harte
Other paintings that I liked were 'Untitled' with its expanse of sky blue and 'M & J' due to sections of yellow and orange.
Untitled by Brian Harte
To my eye, it evoked the sense of a wet day.
'M and J' by Brian Harte
The bright warm colours popped out from a black and white background.
Broan's exhibition will run until 11th April 2025.

Tonight, I attended the opening of Cléa Van der Grijns exhibition 'Orbiva at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 D02 T802.
Her paintings, mixed media on linen or wood are colorful especially the reds and pinks. My favorite painting was Boschian Lush #2 featuring two hearts or arms.
In 'Boschian Lush #3' which I also loved, I saw the bottom half of a dancer.
Cléa has also created a series of eight digital embroideries including 'Boschian Lush #1', top left.
It was a very enjoyable evening. Well worth the effort of going. Cléa's exhibition will run onto 29th Mar 2025.

I attended the opening of Gary Colye's exhibition 'Terra Cognita' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, (Chancery Lane, Dublin 8) tonight. It was packed.
⚫⚫⚫
My favorite drawing was After The Flood'. I loved the simplicity of this image. Three of the walls in the gallery were decorated in green. The forth wall was done in red. All were decorated with natural forms.
⚫⚫⚫
I also liked in the drawing 'In A Forest Clearing'. It was the most striking artwork with the eye in its centre.
⚫⚫⚫
Gary's exhibition will continue until the 15th March 2025.

Tonight, I attended the opening of Michael Wann's exhibition 'The Old Grieving Fields' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. I enjoyed looking at his many drawings done in charcoal on paper. He had created most of his artworks in a nice compact size from 23 x 30 cm to 70 x 60 cm.
I will discuss my favourite drawings starting with 'Omens/Crows Arriving'. It appeared quite eye-catching with all the passing birds in flight.
Omens/Crows Arriving by Muchael Wann
His 'Controlled Explosion' was the most dramatic image in his exhibition.
Controlled Explosion by Michael Wann
I liked his attention to detail in his road images.
The Old Work Road by Michael Wann
The High Bog Road by Michael Wann
A joy to view. Both artworks were small and hung in their own alcove with a third artwork that was similar in dimensions and subject matter.
I found this image to be evocative.
Aerial 3, Night Visions by Michael Wann
It reminded me of a dystopian vision of the future with fires burning in the distance under a dark sky.
Then there was the striking composition of helicopters flying in loose formation.
Recon by Michael Wann
I liked the short title. It added a sense of storytelling to this image.
Michael's exhibition will run until 1st Mar 2025. It was well worth seeing it.
Tonight, I attended 'Arcadia', the opening of Paul Winstanley's latest exhibition at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, Dublin 2. His paintings, oil on linen or oil on panel were the right sizes for their subject matter. The larger artworks like 'Landscape With Clouds II' (2024) looked majestic but were too dark and brown for my liking. ⛰ Paul's smaller paintings from his body of work, 'The Falls' featuring waterfalls had more movement and colour in them. 💧 My favourite painting was 'Veil 30' (2024) which comprised a closed net curtain with a landscape beyond it. Paul's exhibition will run until 18th Jan 2025. 📰 It was well worth going.

As artist in residence in the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, he had created his exhibition to explore how our brains interpret what our eyes see. He had covered his artwork with tiny dots made with laser cut stencils. I particularly enjoyed viewing his yellow painting like Tired of Buttoning and Unbottoning' I - IV. His exhibition will run until 30th Nov 2024.
