This fourth solo exhibition of Judy Carroll Deeley is still concerned with the word ‘paraphernalia’, whose etymological meaning comes from the ancient Greek parapherna, and then later from the medieval Latin paraphernalis. Today this word has largely assumed in English a completely different meaning, but in the past it had a clear connection with women and their conditions mainly… Continue reading Paraphernalia III Plantationocene
Over Nature offers a new optical experience, greater ecological awareness and responsibility towards landscape and environment which surround us. The exhibition consists of a series of multimedia artworks and paintings from Shane Finan, an innovative and interactive approach from Beata Piekarska-Daly to move towards painting, an abstract method of landscape representation with paintings and printings from Mary… Continue reading Over Nature
De Natura has the intention to bring together three singular painters to show by different cultural approaches, the Dutch Evi Vingerling, the Italian Daniele Fabiani and the Chinese Chen Li, the relationship between art and nature and how vernacular traditions, social and cultural situations change the perception of nature in art and vice versa. Different artistic practices… Continue reading De Natura
The artistic and aesthetic impulse of each age is characterised by external historical-social factors that effectively influence the personal experiences of the artist. These are the basis of the curatorial project Painting through its poetical emotion which, articulated in a series of three solo exhibitions, investigates the visual art of Ireland. Irish pictorial art, developed… Continue reading Painting through its poetical emotion – Episode #2
A setting space of an exhibition is often a liminal space where place and time come together. These two variables make a crack in the experience of audience who is called to live hic et nunc, here and now. Following Heidegger’s existentialist philosophy, the human being lives always in a condition where time and space… Continue reading A Setting

Consciously or unconsciously, they obey the word of Socrates: “Know Thyself”. Whether consciously or not, the artists gradually turn to their material to test the balance of each separate… Continue reading Beyond the Painting
La simbiosi fra arte e fotografia in Sylvie Romieu dà vita a un complesso organismo stilistico. La combinazione di influenze, il processo particolare di sovrapposizione delle immagini, spiegano l’alta incidenza dell’inventiva fotografica usata dall’artista come arte pittorica in grado di cogliere le finezze e le aberrazioni del reale. Lo stile impressionistico e fantasmagorico di Romieu… Continue reading Immersion
Painting for Denis Kelly is rigour of thought and action. Each element of his art is meditated with rationality and a meticulous description of forms following Kazimir Malevič’s Suprematist criteria, whose purpose was to find a path leading to the essence of art: geometrical abstraction. These kind of works, if glimpsed, may appear as a… Continue reading Impeccable Defect
Natasha Conway’s paintings are born from a spontaneous and intuitive act devoid of any premeditation, surprising even the artist herself when the work is completed. Her small-size paintings are made of oil on linen or wood panel in line with pictorial tradition, however, although there is a technical continuity with the past, she shows on… Continue reading Paintings
Painting for Colm Mac Athlaoich is an experiment of technique and colour, a journey into abstraction, a deep and personal experience, an unconscious automatism that takes life on the canvas. His painting is fluid, the ductus is full and free, moving on the surface without any obstacles. The creative subconscious of Mac Athlaoich gets out from between the authentic… Continue reading Travelling Withouth Moving
