Emergency Art

The farmer, I get my weekly milk of, needed an ugly wall painted, because he had visitors coming the next day. The only wall not hiding a stone wall turned into a stone wall in 3 hours with my brushes and paint.

Art Exhibition: “No Style”

Astrid Adler is showing the Art-Exhibition: ”NO STYLE” during the Doonbeg Jazz Festival

The artist put this exhibition together to show the diversity of her work. Exploring abstract ancient symbols with charcoal and chalk on big tinted papers creating the look of stone, than, catapulting Celtic Art full colour into the 21st Century, where its construction takes completely different rules; you find Materialism still confused with Surrealism, Andre Breton still discussing with Salvador Dali if he is one, over Illustrations of local fairy tails to some study in pastels of the Stanley range, coming home to prints in Outsider Art “Scattery Island” and old favorite “The Weddingcross”.

Openings hours are: Friday 8-10pm, Saturday 2-5pm and Monday 2-3pm. Artist will be present. Venue: Strandcamping Doonbeg.
