Each year, I hold an exhibition that is completely independent of the gallery system to focus on exploring what’s essential in my work, free of external pressures. This is my annual Special Show where you can see me as I am. This time, It’s going to be a popup gallery! The owner of Rosie O’Grady’s bar in Harold’s Cross has very generously offered out one of his adjacent units; a shop that fronts onto the main street. It will be over this unit that I will hang the ‘La Galerie Impromptu banner.
As an artist, I’m not only interested in the imaginative and conceptual nature of my art; I’m dedicated to the craft side too. For me they’re indivisible. I have always wanted to create things with mind AND my hands. My influences are broad: Hopper, definitely; classical painters for their level of craft but also the surrealists. More strongly though, by so-called Pop Culture. I just love great illustration work. The imagination and highly accomplished artistry.
So this is my one-man Cultural Event. These are my Flights of Fancy. This is my own personal Milan and Paris fashion show.
The work in this show is an eclectic mix -works completed in the last year or so. Although there’s no common theme, one thing that re-occurs is that of flight. Flying racing fish; dirigible cricketers; gilded birds and flighty notions.
So, feathered friends; I’m offering you the opportunity to become an integral part of this show: Proceeds from this crowd-funding campaign will cover the costs of framing, refreshments for the opening and talks, publicity and printing of a catalogue and other printed material. In return, my flock, I shall reserve a special place for you in my heart and in the lush pastures, fragrant forests and cool mountains of this benevolent and expanding land, AND what’s more you’ll even receive something real, that you can hold in your hands änd hang on your wall, in return. Please look at the schedule of the rewards that await supporters and patrons of the arts below. Take wing, citizens! For when we flock together, we are strong!
Below some examples of work to be included:
 |
| The Unsolveable Conundrum. Gilded Acrylics on canvas. 20″ x 16″ |
 |
| Cousin Peregrine’s Lament. Acrylics on canvas. 8″ x 10″ |

These three little birdies are to be on show at the Greenacres Gallery in Wexford town in their upcoming Christmas show.
Hopefully, I’ll get a shot of each in its position on the wall of the gallery before long.
If you’d like to call in to them, the gallery manager is Julie Barlow: Julie@greenacres.ie
I recently completed an illustration project for Brandever, the specialist brand developers for the global wine industry.
You can click on the illustration below to see a reasonably sized version of the final illustration without the branding. Once you’ve done that, we can go and sit in my aviary and have a glass of how’s yer father.
