Whispers of the Countryside | Paul Galligan at Townhall Arts Centre Gallery

Event Details

Exhibition continues from 30/05/26.

Paul’s work consists of large-scale charcoal and soft pastel drawings that focus on the local rural landscape. He approaches these subjects as individual presences, creating oversized images that generate an almost 3D effect. the drawings are highly physical and expressive.
Farm animals, along with the ever-eroding trees and ditches- familiar yet often overlooked, intimate yet utilitarian- occupy a complex position within Irish culture. Charcoal is central to the process. It’s immediacy and fragility mirror the subjects’ vulnerability.
