An exhibition of paintings by Wicklow-based artist Vauney Strahan. The exhibition features new work in which Strahan continues to explore the relationship between mind and matter / man and the universe. These paintings continue to investigate the dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious. While expanding on these themes, the focus of this new body of work places emphasis on the landscape in which these relationships are played-out. There is emphasis on the meeting of Man and nature, the built environment and our role in the shaping of our planet. “In my work I see translucent, fluid brush-work as the activity of the senses, and of free-flowing thought. Against this is the controlled execution of hard-edged forms – the matter of the world surrounding us”.

Since graduating from City and Guilds of London Art School in 2006, Strahan has been selected to exhibit in a number of highly competitive shows around Ireland including; The RHA Annual Exhibition, (Dublin); The Boyle Arts Festival, (Roscommon); The Mermaid Greenstar Open, (Bray) and the DLR Open Exhibition, (Dunlaoghaire). Other selected group and solo shows include; The Stone Gallery, (Dublin); The Lemon Street Gallery, (Dublin) and The Talbot Gallery, (Dublin). Strahan has work in many private collections around England and Ireland. In 2007 she was awarded an Arts Bursary. This is her third solo show.
