Father and daughter exhibit works at Greenlane Gallery

"Expansion"
An Exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by Tomás O'Ciobháin and Anthony Scott

Venue: Greenlane Gallery

Dingle Date: 5th July, 2008

Opened by Professor Liam O'Murchu


When you meet sculptor, Anthony Scott’s life-size bronze horse, Labharacam, the centerpiece of his forthcoming exhibition at the Greenlane Gallery, Dingle (5 – 30 July 2008), its like all of his previous work has come into its proper dimensions, and that his older, smaller horse sculptures have been a rehearsal.
This exhibition also sees an exciting new body of work by West Kerry Coast artist, Tomás O'Ciobháin . While O’Ciobháin continues his fascination with the land and seascapes that surround him, often from extremely vertiginous perspectives, it is in an increasingly abstract manner and with a lighter touch.
O'Cíobháin’s daughter, Aine, will also show some of her work at the forthcoming exhibition. Aine concentrates on night-time urban landscapes. Her years immersed in the grimey, urban world of night-shoots, give her paintings an urgency and authenticity ripped from the streets.
