Currently showing Sarah Walker paintings with a selection of other artists' work on the Mezzanine
The swimming paintings are inspired by a love of swimming in the sea in the Beara peninisula, an activity shared with friends and family. Here the swimmers are painted in Sarah's signature relief technique, miniatures within a great watery expanse of blue hues.
As well as swimming paintings, Sarah Walker is back on the land in her familiar territory of meadow flowers in season. These new works on canvas, with a darkened edge and background, heighten the intensity of detail of the specific wildflowers which grow so abundantly in Beara.
The deep oranges and reds of montbretia create a rich image of the Beara landscape bright with summer growth. The misty mauves and purples of mountain heather and the pinks of fireweed, with their smoke like wispy fibres as they die, also suggest the softly approaching autumn with its deepening colours.
During the winter and spring the gallery is open most days except Sunday afternoons. There is a collection of work on view and visitors are welcome. There are Sarah Walker paintings and a selection of other artists including Esther Balzs, Nadette Charlet and Daisy Richardson. In the Mezzanine area glass sculpture by Barbara Kennealy, ceramic sculptures by Darren Cassidy and wood sculpture by Harold Kurreck among many other works.
