In her book Sean Keating: Art, Politics and Building the Irish Nation , Dr Eimear O’Connor wrote that An Allegory – painted in 1923 and first exhibited in 1925 – was meant as a sociopolitical assessment of the pointlessness of the Irish Civil War. Keating’s self-portrait, constructed initially by William Orpen, depicts him lying disillusioned and worn out beneath the branches of an ancient tree.
‘A malignancy in society’: Tears and smirks in a Sheffield court as rioters jailed over wrecked asylum hotelRestaurant closures: ‘If it’s going to hit Dylan McGrath, it’s going to affect many businesses. The model is broken’ If viewing – and indeed buying – art and sculpture in sumptuous surroundings is your thing, then The K Club in Straffan, Co Kildare, is the place to visit between now and September 8th. The venue is one of several lavish country house settings – previous exhibitions have been held at the Culloden Hotel outside Belfast, Castlemartyr Resort in Co Cork and Russborough House in Co Wicklow – where Gormleys fine art dealers choose to display international and Irish sculpture and paintings.
One particular feature of the current Art and Soul exhibition is 12 new pieces by Belfast-born artist, Donegal-based Martin Mooney. These include Dublin Four Courts ; Reflections, Russborough House ; and Tangerine and Red Tulips on Cloth . Mooney, regarded as one of Ireland’s most accomplished painters, is best known for his dramatic urban and rural landscapes and floral still life paintings.
