second thing.getting out there

Just very recently we decided to attend two art events. The first one was an exibition opening at kennedys gallery (harcourt street) this tuesday. It was a presentation of new works by Niall Bracken, Dublin born artist called "Scapes". Aaron, Dona and myself found each other truly fascinated by this vivid, energetic and simply beautiful paintings. I have never experienced such joy of gathered friends discussing the process of getting to know how . We ended up very influenced and inspirated by his techniqe and aesthetics.
The second was a lauch of a new booklet "marks" that was a collaboration between artist and writer hugely supported by Arts Council and Circa art magazine. It took place in Temple bar gallery and studios. Not only we had a chance to drink free bottles of miller (ha ha ha) over writers readings but we were part of something new. One of the artist presented there was our very own drawing teacher Bea McMahon with her fantastic origami-like illustrations of Alan Jude Moores poems.
And who knows, maybe we all will be a fundamental part of such event in the nearest future? fingers crossed.
get out there! !
