Featured Artists

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."

Niamh Slack, artist

Painted in oils and acryclics, Niamh Slack's art draws its inspiration from the natural landscape. Painting outdoors whenever possible, she especially enjoys depicting the woodland and coastal scenes of the East and West of Ireland.

Her art is about capturing the essence of those places that strike a chord with her. Perhaps more importantly than this, her paintings are about her love of colour. When working in oils, she is continuously experimenting with the placing of heavy layers of colour on canvas with the aim of capturing the richness of colour in our natural landscape.

Chara Nagle, artist

Chára Nagle started painting at a young age and decided very early on that art was her life and passion. She was fascinated by observing people and portraying their everyday activities in her art.

Chára’s paintings are big, bold, dramatic observations of everyday life. However there is also an element of intrigue and humour to Chára’s paintings. She invites the viewer to come to their own conclusions as to what is happening in the painting. Chára engages the viewer further through her use of vibrant colours and realistic portrail of her subject matter.

Conor Walton, artist

Conor Walton was born in Dublin in 1970, and studied in the National College of Art and Design, from which he graduated in 1993 with a Joint Honours Degree in the History of Art and Fine Art (Painting). He received a special commendation and prize for his thesis, 'Abstraction: A Discourse on Language and Painting'.

After reading for an MA in Art History and Theory at the University of Essex, which he was awarded with distinction in 1995 (dissertation subject: 'The Battle of the Ancients and the Moderns'), he spent some time in Florence studying painting and old master techniques with Charles Cecil. He returned to Dublin in 1996, and had his first solo exhibition there in 1999.

Charmain Fitzgerald, artist

Having lived in Dublin, London, New York and LA, 25 year old Charmain Fitzgerald is inspired by the unusual quirkes and nuances of her past and present surroundings and their accompanying inhabitants. She chooses oil or acrylic as her medium and her paintings are figurative and realist/surrealist, using representational form to create a sense of otherness, not detached from everyday things.

Forgoing the education route due to so much moving around, Charmain has been taking classes under established artists for the past few years, and currently works from her home in north Dublin. She is making the transition from concentrating on portrait work over to encompassing unsettling interiors and still life where your eye is caught more so by the items that should not really be there.
