Exhibition: Honeymoon by Ciara Roche
Butler Gallery Evans Home, John's Quay,, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, IrelandButler Gallery is very pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Wexford-born artist Ciara Roche. This is the artist’s first large-scale museum exhibition in Ireland.
This suite of paintings on canvas and paper refer to domestic scenes and public places with source imagery derived from the artist’s own photography, film stills and found imagery. Roche continues to explore representational image-making using wet and quickly applied oil paint to create a sense of luminosity and movement on the surface. The paintings explore places and themes that range from exclusive anonymous hotels to empty 24-hour cafés.
