There is a retrospective of Ann Madden's Major works from the 1950's to Date running at IMMA until September the 30th, I had meant to write about it before. The themes are of voyages and mythos- including the Icarus story which is painted in red and gold, the paintings are ofter based in connected series through the East wing of the gallery or presented in Triptych form on the walls. Its a stunning exhibition, the later paintings are marked with small icons of crosses . the image shown with this little piece is one of a series of Aurora Borealis inspired paintings- and the exhibition is free, as is the Yeats collection at the National Library and of course walking on the Hill of Tara. read full story / add a comment |
