CERTAIN DISTANCE an exhibition of new works by Mary A. Fitzgerald will run from Friday 7th May until Thursday 27th May.
 rumble, rumble .jpg Statement
The new work for ‘Certain Distance’, was made during the residency at Independent Studio Artist on Eustace Street, Dublin. Fitzgerald works mainly with acrylic on gesso boards or stretched paper, creating works with foundations in the narrative but with the gesture of the sensory abstract. This work is grounded in the experience of daily observing and remembering.
The experience of looking is not only based on what you see with your eyes - the immediate sensation of something - but also how personal history, individual understanding and internal thought process alter what is perceived. These paintings create suggestions of place and object, but also incorporate private sensation and experience. Her iconography originates in the everyday, an eclectic gathering of images, daily observations and random things seen.
These ‘new realities’ with their combination of personal narrative, of momentary and fleeting images, are brought together, transformed and communicated through the process of painting. The work plays with our perceptions of literal and emotional space, revealing the extent to which we can never be certain of what we know, see or feel. Memory and reality are tested - allowing the slippage between what is 'real' and what is imagined - to be questioned.
The process of revealing and concealing the narrative, of scraping back creates a history or archeology within each piece.
The observation yields the subject but the process is abstract. Each work enjoys both a tangible and a subliminal existence. The spaces and silences created in-between remain for the observer to explore.

Marc Reilly’s work practice varies from loose watercolours to large expansive colourfield work on canvas, but they all originate from the same source which is Marc’s relationship with and observations of nature. He makes almost daily pilgrimages the whole year round to the Clara Laragh region of Wicklow.
‘ARTIST’S STAEMENT :- SOMETIMES HORSES.
There are a number of interconnecting fields on the South facing side of the valley which, when the barbed wire and twine gates are down, join up to give access to quite an extensive area of hillside, which includes a mix of boggy and dry ground, old trees; Oak and Pine, scrub with Birch, Holly and Hazel, and the small birds that visit.
One evening a large fox passed close by, unaware or unconcerned, and two deer stood watching in the almost dark.
Assorted collections of horses and ponies has temporary and transient possetion of the fields, and have done so over the past twenty years or more, they appear without warning and dissapear suddenly.
No excuse is necessary to stand and watch but small challenges act as reason to view, incidentally, the passing day, the temporary presence of horses has acted as an ocasional reason to stand and watch and sometimes they are not there.
All the work is watercolour on paper and has been completed in situ, with weather and horses permitting.
Marc Reilly.’
Apart from his many shows at The Paul Kane Gallery, Marc has also had solo shows at The Crescent Arts Centre Belfast, The Project Arts Centre and the Temple Bar Galleries. He has been involved in group shows at The Eagle Gallery, London, The Graphic Studio Gallery, Nordens Ljus in Stockholm and shows in Paris and Canada.

[...more] PRACTICAL DREAMING |
[...more] PRACTICAL DREAMING is a body of work by artist Anthony Kelly, a variation of his show PRACTICAL DREAMING which was exhibited at The Courtyard, Herefordshires Centre for the Arts, England in June/July 2009.
In his introductory essay to the accompanying catalogue curator Seán McCrum attests that
'Practical dreaming is an open place. It is a paradise garden, built through the poetic construction of imaginary and lived experience. In Byzantine heroic poetry, Digenis Akrites “made a perimeter and a lovely place within.” “In Xanadu did Kublai Khan…” It is part of being human.
This open place is where creative evolution happens through the allusiveness, sometimes of words, pictures, sound or event, sometimes of all together.
Here, in Anthony Kelly’s practical dreaming, the perimeter is the edge of the physical surface of a picture. The form, which it contains, is perpetually fluid, continuously evolving. Each affects the other, together making an open place.'
The show will run from Friday 12th March until Saturday 3rd April.
Concurrent with his show at The Paul Kane Gallery Anthony will be showing at the Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Art Gallery, Corner Brook, Newfoundland
