Kfest

Just got back from Kilorglin in Kerry this evening. I went down yesterday with 3 paintings to the Kfest, got them hanging and gave a bit of a hand sorting a few bits out around with friends, artists and organisers of Kfest Mike Ahern and Niamh Cosmon.

This is the first year of Kfest and it's launching on Friday, 31st of May, here's a link to the website - http://www.kfest.ie/

Here's 2 of the paintings that I took down to the festival, there's a third but I wasn't happy with the documentation, I can put it up later.

Solo Show Dates


The solo exhibition has been posted on the Arthouse website with the dates, it's running for 1 month, from September 5th to October 4th.

There's an image of one of the new paintings, now when I took the photo it wasn't stretched on a frame and I was having difficulty stretching it on the wall of my studio so it looks a bit wrinkled, my statement is there too. It's stretched up now though so when I post the images after the exhibition it will look the part. The only thing is I was wondering if it's too subtle but I, what the object is in it, if you want to, you could leave a comment here with a bit of feedback.

Update on the Solo Exhibition

The exhibition that was meant for June and then got pushed back to September has been fairly nailed down. It will be opening now on the 5th of September which is a Thursday. I had a meeting today with the Laois Arts Officer about the work that'll be showing and the exhibition and we agreed that maybe on the Thursday it would be a kind of unofficial opening night and then on the following Saturday, the 7th, It will be officially launched by a guest, who I need to get in contact with. I'll also be giving a talk on the residency in Skagastrond and my new work.

About a week ago I also got some work into K-Fest in Kilorglin in Co. Kerry. It's the towns inaugural visual arts festival and it's running from the 31st of May to the 3rd of June.
