| Mary Theresa Keown - Solo |
|
Mary Theresa Keown has been formulating collected images from trivia, fashion magazines, and reproductions from art history. These works, which correspond to her painterly images on canvas, have a distinct nature in themselves, they reference the notations of Braque and Picasso, not as constructed Cubist collages, but as metaphors for a conceptual physicality.
The paintings have distilled their own relationship to these totemistic references, where sometimes splashes of paint integrate sources in an organic expression of the dual nature of seeing and collating. This exhibition explores multifaceted elements of the pictorial image with its historical and cultural references in post modernism, with aspects of the painted surface, commonly associated with abstraction, but intrinsic to the nature of classical painting.
Mullan has presented some of the best 2008 shows in Belfast - Crozier, Teskey etc, and this show continues with this level of quality.

| Irish Landscapes | Gordon | Irwin | McIlfatrick | |
|
‘Contemporary Irish Landscapes’ is a 3 person show celebrating the uniqueness of the Irish landscape, particularly in the North West corner of Donegal and Ulster. Ian Gordon, Pat Irwin and Hugh McIlfatrick interpret the landscape in their own unique ways through vibrant colour and light. Ian Gordon studied at Wimbledon School of Art, before moving to an abandoned farm in Donegal where he worked on conceptual art burying embroidery in beautiful places. Eventually he returned to more traditional painting through which he felt he could achieve the same aims and exhibits widely in Ireland and Europe. McIlfatrick is self taught and left his teaching career to become a full time painter drawing inspiration from the Donegal area. He has been involved in many exhibitions and was runner up in the Bass Irish Arts Award. Pat Irwin is also self taught and works in Limavady, a short distance from the northwest coast and its local scenery is a principal subject for nearly all of his paintings.

| Claudio Viscardi - Solo |
|
It is always an unmissable event when an important artist like Claudio Viscardi shows new work - his multi-layered compositions of infinite depth combine complexity with a rare poetic quality. Viscardi is a dual Irish-Swiss citizen living in the Beara peninsula in SW Ireland using natural, rare pigment such as lapis lazuli, malachite, rock crystal and ground marble to create in his very individual style. This new exhibition explores imaginary landscapes intermingled with the moods of the Beara Peninsula and those of New York and Venice. Re-occurring themes of night and day are further explored, deepening Viscardi's fascination with night landscape - evolving day into night. Viscardi himself comments: “My technique of the semi fresco and the continued research with historical and natural pigments, has brought me to allow the sea and skies to move on the canvas and capture the light, moods and realism of the landscape.” Viscardi is internationally collected and seriously investable.

| Jim McDonald Solo - East Belfast Memories |
|
Jim McDonald has painted in Canada, England, and Ireland. A three year period in Kildare saw his love of horses produce racing scenes still sought by many enthusiasts of the sport. He worked in the Delorean factory as illustrator before painting full time. In Canada, McDonald was commissioned to paint a portrait of The Governor General of Canada. This led to portraits of other well known personalities. McDonald's paintings have always been popular, from early watercolours and pastels to bold and colourful oils of today. Notable influences are McAuley, Conor, Yeats and Turner - but he is constantly experimenting, and his current project displays a trend towards even more colourful and fascinating subjects which are very collectable. Last year, the Royal Mail published two "Titanic" stamps using McDonald's images. These new works on East Belfast Memories are highly evocative of a long-gone period in Belfast and seem certain to give McDonald his second sell-out show in a row.

| "It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see." |

Why Invest In Irish Art
"The Irish art market has grown faster than any other international art market worldwide. Each year sees unprecedented records smashing those of the previous year," writes David Britton in the Irish Arts Review, and he ends,"it was a very good year for Irish art." Irish artists continue to set personal records at Sotheby's, Christie's and auction houses in Ireland itself....A couple of years ago, Forbes - the key magazine for the world's top entrepreneurs - commented that "since 1990, 20th-century Irish art, Dutch Old Masters and English sporting pictures have been the art market's three fastest-rising sectors - with the Irish climbing the most steeply."
