Westival Gallery

Wed Oct 23rd - Mon Oct 28th 2019

Through an open call, artists were invited to submit work on Westival 2019’s theme, ‘Brittle / Fragile’. The result is an exciting and varied group show showcasing selected work from Irish and international artists, featuring sculpture, painting, drawing and photography.

 The theme proved a generous, many-headed muse, with artists responding in a huge variety of ways and presenting a multiplicity of creative interpretations – personal fragility, vulnerability as strength, frailty engendering feelings of protectiveness, the brittle geopolitical landscape, the fragility and ever-increasing vulnerability of our planet….

Artist info

Geboren in Rotterdam, aufgewachsen in Irland, bin ich ein Künstlerin, die ihre Zeit zwischen Irland und Berlin aufteilt. Nachdem ich 1999 mein Studium der Kunstgeschichte am Trinity College Dublin abgeschlossen hatte, arbeitete und reiste ich 14 Jahre lang um die Welt, bevor ich nach Deutschland zog, um mich ganz auf meine Kunst zu konzentrieren.

Ich zolle unserer Welt Tribut, indem ich gegenständliche und neu erfundene Landschaften male, die die Größe der Natur feiern. Mein Aufwachsen im Westen Irlands beeinflusste mein Interesse an der Erforschung der tieferen Erinnerungswelt der Archetypen und wie sie in der Landschaft um mich herum nachklingen. Meine Bilder sind Erinnerungen, die meine Vorstellungen über die Gegenwart und die Zukunft prägen.

'Innere Zufriedenheit folgt dem Herzschlag der Natur' - Alexander Hutner

Als Praxis wird das Malen zur Routine, und mein Gedächtnis sagt mir voraus, wie es sein wird, Dinge zu tun, die ich noch nie zuvor getan habe. Ich erlebe Szenen aus meiner Erinnerung wieder. Ich denke gerne, dass meine Bilder immer optimistisch und äußerst positiv sind und einen Raum der Reflexion und Ruhe schaffen. Einige stellen abstrakte Fragen, während andere einfach ein Grund sind, innezuhalten, zu schauen, Luft zu holen und sich zu erinnern.

Ich habe an Gruppen- und Einzelausstellungen teilgenommen. Meine Arbeiten wurden auch für Privatsammlungen in Irland, Deutschland, den USA, Indien, Jordanien, Südafrika, Großbritannien, Libanon, Island und Dänemark erworben.

3 meiner Bilder hängen im HSE Corporate Finance Center, Irish Government Building, Dublin, Irland.

ORLAINBERLIN

Irish and Berlin based artist dividing my time between art studios in Ireland and Berlin. Having completed a degree in History of Art at Trinity College Dublin in 1999, I worked and traveled around the world for 14 years before moving to Germany to focus on my art full-time.

Growing up in the West of Ireland influenced my exploration of the deeper memory world of archetypes and how they resonate in the landscape around me. My paintings, both representational and re-imagined, are memories that shape my ideas about the present and the future.

As a practice, painting becomes routine, and my memory predicts what it will be like to do things I have never done before. Spaces of (and for) imagination are central to my work and rather than specific topography or 'views' are a deeper reflection on nature and the ways it can develop my experience of the present, by means of an archetypal memory that is a thread I try to tease out in my paintings.

I like to think that my work is optimistic and positive, creating a space for curiosity and reflection. Some paintings ask abstract questions, while others are simply a reason to pause, look, take a breath and remember.

I have taken part in group and solo exhibitions. My work has also been acquired for private collections worldwide.

Three of my artworks hang in the HSE Corporate Finance Center, Irish Government Building, Dublin, Ireland.
