Gallery artist Eoin Mac Lochlainn will be in conversation with visual artist and curator Claire Halpin at the Olivier Cornet Gallery
3 Great Denmark Street
Thursday 8th October
6:30 pm
The conversation will revolve around Eoin Mac Lochlainn's current show ‘Diaspora’, its themes, subject matter and the techniques used in this body of work. A great opportunity to hear the artist talk about his practice and to see the exhibition before it finishes on October 11.
This is a free event but booking is recommended
….”These are layered and satisfyingly complex paintings, evocative, textured, subtle, creating a dialogue between figuration and abstraction, a more subdued dialog between frontality and three dimensionality, and managing that difficult tightrope balance of being socially aware without prettifying the subject. This is an artist to watch!”
Brian McAvera, extract from his review of ‘Diaspora’ (Irish Arts Review Magazine, Autumn Edition 2015)
