4th Clare Art Christmas Show
The 4th Clare Art Christmas Show takes
place in the Foyer of the County Museum from December 13th – January
8th, 2011.
Organised by local artist David O’Rourke,
the show features a number of invited local artists including Tommy Kelly,
photographer, James Halley, a sketch artist, performance artist Alex Conway
and painters Austin Creavan, Marie Connole, Anna Colmer, Kevin Quinlan,
Sinead Slattery, Catriona Sheedy, Hazel Gilcrest, Dereck Smyth as well
as David O’Rourke himself.
The wide variety of styles and media ensure that
once again an eclectic exhibition will be on show.
Due to the nature of the space artists are showing
smaller scale works which have the advantage of being affordable. People
have the opportunity to buy directly from the individual artists, who
have priced their work to be within everybody’s means.
The exhibition offers a good opportunity for the
public to support Clare artists directly.
The exhibition is open daily to the general public
and an opening reception will take place from 2 – 5pm on Saturday
December 18th and all are invited.

Imaginary image/ animated stills - An exhibition
of paintings by Ronan Smith
Foyer of the County Museum
Ronan Smith’s exhibition focuses on his relationship to “the
real” through a series of reproductions taken from his unfinished
animated movie entitled In-eye 2010. “The real” is a term
used by the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and is defined as “the state
of nature from which we have been forever severed by our entrance into
language” In this exhibition the artist works with the modernist
aesthetic of rhythmic colour and line and the process of digital animation
to relay his experience of the phenomenon of “the real” to
the viewer. This
work has been influenced by the artists Mark Joyce, Helen Frankenthaler,
Antoni Tapies, Barbara Hepworth, and Paul Klee to name a few.
From Tralee Co. Kerry Ronan Smith is an MA graduate and has been involved
as an artist in many group and solo exhibitions throughout Ireland. He
is based in Gort, Co Galway.
