Tyrone Guthrie Residency

Earlier in the year I applied to Laois County Council for the Tyrone Guthrie Bursary and I found out last week that my application was successful. i was delighted to get that news and I'll be going to work at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Monaghan  for one week from the 18th - 25th of August where I'm hoping to work on some sketchbook stuff to possibly develop at a later stage.

Sligo Exhibition Dates Confirmed & Instagram

I sent back the contract to the Hyde Bridge Gallery and the dates are nailed down - 

Tuesday, September 8th is the day it will open on at 6pm and it runs then until the 19th closing at 4pm. 

As far as work goes I have 11 pieces completed, I've been working on the this series solid since around the end of September and have been looking to complete a painting per week, (I had one great week finishing 2 but the following week was a write of) so if I can keep up the momentum I'll have plenty to choose from. They're all fairly small to medium size so far but there's a canvas nearly ready to go measuring 150cm x 130cm I just need to size it and it'll be ready. 

Aside from that then I set up an Instagram profile, just to post up an odd studio shot or installation picture off the phone. You can go through the link here - http://instagram.com/pat.b23/  - I haven't posted anything on it yet though.

New Solo Exhibition 2015

I received word before the Christmas break that my work was accepted into the 2015 exhibition program at The Hyde Bridge Gallery in Sligo. I haven't images of the work to put up because it's completely new stuff that I started working on around last April, it only started to take shape between August and September and has been progressing along since then.

The dates are September 6th - 20th this year.

Update on Dublin Show

Just a quick update on the Pop-up exhibition in Dublin, it opens on the 5th of December from 6 - 8pm and then it's open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (9th, 10th and 11th). I'll try and get a photo of the drawing I have in it and post it up here.

Wooloo.org Page

I set up a profile on Wooloo.org where I'll be posting up work and installation shots of some exhibitions as they come up. This link will take you to my profile page Pat Byrne. It's in progress so there's still some information that needs putting in but I'll be sorting that out gradually.

 

Work in Dublin Group Show

There's a Pop up show opening this Friday (December 5th) at Emmett House in Dublin. The show is running for a week. I'll be deciding Monday for definite what I'm putting into it, I'll either be putting in one of the images below or both or maybe working on something new altogether for it, I'll post it up if something new goes in.

Work in Birr Group Show

I have a piece of work in a group show in Birr, County Offaly. The show is titled Common Ground 2014 'Organic'. This is the second consecutive year that I have had a painting in this group exhibition. The show is taking place in Birr Theatre and Arts Centre and is open from the 5th of December. Below is the invitation and an image of the painting that I have in it.
