Mc Bride Gallery
Whether the sky is a jeweled blue or stony grey it is scintillating summer time at the Mcbride Gallery in Killarney.
The growth in the gallery's reputation has been rapid. After just one year the Mcbride Gallery has truly established itself as a commercial gallery which exhibits Fine Art from Irish artists of the highest standard.
The Mcbride Gallery is proudly approaching its first birthday and last Friday 22nd June a group exhibition featuring up to twenty six artists was launched. These works can be viewed for the next two months, right up until 3rd September.
Manager Joanne McCarthy explains, "We constantly strive to exhibit Irish artists who have achieved an excellent standard of art work (both technically and aesthetically); acquired a formal education; held exhibitions in noted art spaces; received critical acclaim from collectors, critics and the art media, as well as acclaim from their peers."
Among the artists with work on display are Tim Goulding, Regine Bartsch, Trevor Geoghegan, Shane Johnson, Michael Gemmell, Tim Booth and John Behan.
Tim Goulding, member of Aosdana, is a resident of the wild and remote Beara peninsula. Goulding paints landscape-based works that are semi-abstract and semi-realistic, that convey, in his own words, "a buttery or gritty poetry", almost like "an individual pebble on the beach, shining in its own quiet way."
Regine Bartsch, of German, Finnish and Syrian origin, has lived and worked in Caherciveen since 1978. She produces naturalistic landscapes, still lives and domestic interiors/exteriors. Larry Powell, judge at the Irish American Arts Award, New York, 2006 noted in Bartsch's work strands of J D Ferguson, Henri Matisse, Emil Nolde, Giorgio Morandi and Nicholas De Stael but added that Bartsch "remains true to her own vision."
Galway sculptor John Behan is a member of both RHA and Aosdana and an artist of international reputation. Of Behan, poet Seamus Heaney said, "with John, there is no game playing, no artsy role-playing, no temperamental swank or masquerade. You meet the man, not the mask."
Joanne McCarthy again, "Many of the artists who will be exhibiting in this exhibition have not previously exhibited in the Kerry region, and those that have before present new works to us."
Freshness, variety, excellence - this is what the Mcbride Gallery summer exhibition promises. Good news for art lovers.
