Featured Artists

Lisa Conlon, artist

Lisa Conlon was born 1981 and raised about a mile from Dungannon in County Tyrone.

Her latest exhibition "Soul Language" delves deeper into the collective soul, using bold lines and even bolder colours to express the artist’s sense of freedom within the medium of acrylic on canvas.

Richard Browne, artist

Richard Browne is from Kerry but is currently traveling in the U.S.

Artist statement: "I am enthused by organically driven abstracts. For me its all about openess. The art assumes its own shape and life. I tend to see the natural world in my pieces but try not to lead them too much."

Gerry Glynn, artist

Gerry Glynn was born in Dublin and formed an early interest in drawing, painting and sculpture.

Apart from a brief period in the National College of Art and Design, he is completely self-taught. He then went on to develop his own distinctive style in oil painting. He was at first influenced by classic sculpture, the surrealists and then, impressionsism.

Hilary Murray-Freir, artist

After successfully establishing herself in San Francisco California, Hilary Murray Freir has moved her studio back to Dublin. The artist fuses both representational images with Bay Area style abstraction. In her representational art light is often employed to create an austere setting. The central figure appears in a world reminiscent of reality but far removed from it. The placement of figures and the intimate nature of the scenes, create a feeling of voyeurism. Murray-Freir’s abstraction borrows from the gestural strokes of New York Ab Ex and the more modern concept of Street Art. The abstract imagery remains dense, full of texture, brushwork and colour.

Jay Walker, artist

At the age of 31 Jay Walker returned to college studying Art and Design. It was here that abstract expressionism was to have a major influence; Jackson Pollock being the main inspirational figure. Upon leaving college he moved to Dublin, found a studio in the Docklands area and carried on painting, developing his work and absorbing the surroundings.

Jay now works from a studio in Co Carlow, at the foot of Mount Leinster. His more recent work has moved further from abstraction toward a style of impressionism; recording the change and development which is sweeping the cities throughout Ireland and in contrast the subdued tranquility of coastal and country life.
