SUMMARY:Saoirse | Tadgh McSweeney at Grilse Gallery
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to the opening of Tadgh McSweene
 y’s exhibition\, Saoirse\, on 2 August at 12 noon.The exhibition will be
  introduced by Tadgh’s friend and film-maker\, Vivienne Dick.\nMcSweeney
  was an exceptionally individual artist who found extraordinary beauty in 
 the absolutely ordinary\, in the landscapes\, animals and everyday objects
  of his home surroundings.\nThe poet Brian Lynch wrote\, ‘the simplicity
 \, the stubbornness\, the freshness\, and the joy he finds in nature are f
 acets of an ongoing self-portrait\, expressions of the soul of an original
  artistic personality. He is in the tradition of Irish genius\, but there 
 is no genius like him. Tadgh McSweeney is unique’.\nMcSweeney studied in
  the National College of Art and Design\, Dublin\, between 1959 and 1960\,
  and later studied printmaking techniques\, such as etching and silkscreen
  printing\, in London. He exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy\, the O
 ireachtas\, Group 65 and the Independent Artists annual exhibitions\, and 
 had fourteen solo shows in Cork\, Dublin\, San Francisco\, Hamburg\, Killa
 rney and London. He passed away on 29 August 2018\, aged 82.\nThe exhibiti
 on runs until 31 August\, open Wed—Sun\, 12—5pm or by appointment.\n\n
