Exhibition at the Ballinglen Gallery

An Exhibition by well known Dublin based Artist Cora O'Brien takes place at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation with the official Opening on Friday 21st August at 8.30p.m.  Viewing 7.30p.m. - 10.00 p.m.  Landscape, still life and portraiture, experimenting with composition, light, colour and technique.  Her work is in many public and private collections in Ireland and abroad.
The Paintings in this exhibition focuses on Cora's response to elements of farming and landscape around Ballycastle, Co Mayo.
The main body of work has emerged from observation of Marts, and the Ballina livestock Mart in particular. She was fascinated by the subject matter presented, the sheer bulk and shapes of the cattle, and their movements, both graceful and orderly. The atmospheric conditions of the interior, provided by light from skylights and partly opened doorways, the reflections on wet floor surfaces, the myriad of patterns, shapes and range of colours.
The human interest, mainly farmers, inspecting, bidding and socialising, all provided inspiration and a wealth of new knowledge on this compelling subject.

Do come along and enjoy this wonderful exhibition of paintings.

Refreshments served and everyone is welcome.
