John Whelan's art back on display

John Whelan Exhibits at the Quay Co-op

Exhibition: Work by John Whelan in Quay Co-op back on display from June 17 to July 7

John’s style involves distinctive mark making, often using both hands at the same time. Layering, pattern and an ever-moving surface are present in every painting John does. It can be hard to find words to describe his paintings because the abstractness allows for much interpretation, suggestions of objects and imagery and endless possibilities. Visit the Quay Co-op, Sullivan's Quay, Cork from June 17 to July 7. 2015 to see his work.

As the workshop progresses in Matadero, Madrid, Ide does observational studies of the freshly painted objects of her fellow artists. She used her unique style to create bold, colourful and angular interpretations of objects such as a teddy, shoes and a guitar.
