Niall Naessens: ‘Ar Imeall an Iontais/The Edge of Marvellous’ exhibition at Grilse Gallery
Niall's exhibition comprises a body of recent etchings, monoprint drawings and digital drawings depicting remote and extreme places. The landscape imagery, extracted mostly from the topography of West Kerry, is embellished with memory, dreams and invention. The human figure, often an artist, occasionally appears bidding us to share their outlook. Developing a brand of 21st-century Irish Romanticism, Naessens inquires into his emotional connection with the world he lives in. With colour and motif, he contrives to portray this world in fantastic compositions, each one an episode of a greater narrative. In an adventurous collaboration with Stephen O'Connell and Alexis Bowman of Fermoyle Pottery, the show will include ceramic landscape pieces. Grilse Gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday, 12 noon to 5 pm, and by appointment.
