'Galway - a Portrait' exhibition opens at Kennys'Galway - a Portrait' exhibition opens at Kennys
"Galway a Portrait" is the title of an exhibition which opens in the Kenny Gallery on Friday, January 7th. The gallery invited some 70 artists to produce impressions of the city, and the result is a fascinating and eclectic collection of images, which vary from the abstract to the traditional. There are plenty of surprises in the show, and some fun pieces. Many well known artists are included such as John Coll, Kenneth Webb, Phyllis Del Vecchio, John Behan, Gertrude Degenhardt, etc. but there are new faces also, including Aisling Joyce who is a secondary school student in Salerno. One is struck by how many very good artists we have in Galway, and their different styles of working, whether it be in oils or watercolours or bronze. Many of the participants are visitors to the city three Dutch artists are included. The Result is a multi-media potpourri of images, a sort of composite portrait of the city, its street, its buildings, its festivals, its people. The exhibition runs until January 27th. Related Links
