Runs from 1st – 31st August 2024
Tuesday – Saturday | 10am – 4pm
Opening launch: 31st July at 7pm
Steeped in emotive memories of place, John’s works are most often drawn from memories of childhood summers spent on ancestral land in Ummeryroe, Co.Sligo. John amalgamated his visual fascinations with poetic re-contextualisation of that which rooted him. John’s paintings and prints skilfully blend memory, family, place, and observation, with striking use of abstract texture and colour.
This exhibition seeks to trace the roots of his practice, bring new works to light, and celebrate the powerful breadth of his lifelong practice.
