This show is a retrospective of the work I have done in the last 10 years, all generated by the inspiring Beara peninsula. 

Skies, stones, snails, sheds, sheep, sea, birds, bogs, boats, bars, farms and scenes of simple life, rural nostalgia.

All of them related to my need to anchor in this remote wild corner of Ireland, Allihies, which became my home 19 years ago. I called some of them my “floating anchors”…

Oils, watercolours, inks or pencils… I used to paint in a small area of my kitchen . Perhaps it was due to the size of my space or perhaps to my introvert character, that my work was usually small and focused on deep observation and detail in which I was happily diving.

All the exhibited works will be for sale with 25% reduction on the original price for the 2 weeks of the show. There will also be a raffle for one of my paintings, whose proceeds will be donated to the Michael Dwyer festival.

I am delighted to invite you all at the opening,

At 8 Cows Gallery in Allihies, on Michael Dwyer festival week end, Saturday the 8th of June at 6:00 pm

The exhibition will be open everyday for the next 2 weeks,

from June 9 to June 23, 

from 1:30 to 5:30 pm.

KIP LOT, “The Beara Light”

Exhibition and official book launch of Kip’s book “The Beara Light”

Originally from Texas, Kip lives between the South of France and the Beara. Artist and professional photographer, his eye captures the landscape of our hills and coastline with an exceptional talent, waiting for the exact second where the lights makes it magical.

The large scale photographs, on archival paper, are absolutely breathtaking.

Kip’s love for the Beara led him this year to make a book with a local poet, Geoff Ward: “The Beara Light”…

May 21 to June 5

GOND ARTISTS, “The Heartbeat of India”

The first exhibition in Ireland of Gond tribal art.

Patangarh is a peaceful tribal village in the state of Madhya Pradesh, right in the center of India. The Gond people live a very simple life, in total harmony with the nature, and their ancestral way to talk about their culture has always been through art. A hub of incredible and heart-full talents.

I came across this village by chance, 4 years ago, and ever since I have made my best to support the survival of this beautiful and fragile culture…

All the money from the sales is going back to Patangarh !…

The show is a new collection of works on paper or canvas that I brought back from my recent visit to India.

April 7 (Good Friday) to April 28 2023….
