Concourse, County Hall, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin Reception Thursday 29th October at 6pm Exhibition continues until Sunday 15th November "For the past few years while going about my daily business in Dún Laoghaire, I began to imagine what it must be like to make drawings of some of the people that I encountered. This came as a surprise, though a keen fan of almost all forms of visual art, I have never personally been interested in depicting the human form. Anyway, this idea remained in the back of my mind as an idea never acted upon, until I applied to the Place and Identity Public Art Programme, which provided the impetus. In total there are nine portraits, all the same size (145 x 101cm), format and medium, charcoal on paper: and all made in the same fashion, initially working from photographs, an image is drawn and then erased, drawn and erased and hopefully over time an image will form. The sitters are of all ages and from every walk of life, eight males and one female, which is an imbalance I intend to redress in the future." Gary Coyle The exhibition be officially opened by an cathaoirleach, Cllr Marie Baker Concourse, County Hall, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin Monday - Friday 10am - 5pm Saturday closed Sunday 12pm - 5pm | |||
