04/01/2013 – A Longing

The title of this Solo exhibition is A Longing and the artist is Carol O’ Connor.

This show is the culmination of 2 years work and reflects my view of the broad and accelerating changes both my own personal world and also in the world in general. Color plays a pivotal role in reflecting desires, fantasies and hope. Real and fantasy worlds collide in an effort to evaluate and draw some meaning from a chaotic world. Most of the show consists of small paintings 25x30cms and 10 drawings of a similar size. The spaces required vary and as there are over 20 finished pieces they can function in a small or large space. So far i have shows in signal arts centre Bray, Dunamaise arts centre in Portlaoise and Avenue Road Gallery in Dublin. There is now catalogue for the show just a list of titles and prices.

With the show in portlaoise I will be conducting a workshop and brief talk as part of their outreach programme and for Avenue road Gallery there will be a talk about the work.
