Tina Brooks is the Hamilton Gallery Award winner from Cairde Visual 2018. This solo show, Tidal, features paintings based on observations of Strandhill peninsula and its weather. An emotional response to environment and place.
For centuries landscape artists have looked to nature to better understand the mysteries of life. Given our current position in the 21st century – climate change, global warming and capitalism’s clamour for global resources – the subject matter is more relevant than ever. ‘Studio paintings are not pre-planned. I use a method of laying down and scraping off paint. Each layer and brush mark informs the next. I repeat this layering and rejecting until I can locate myself and recognize the place and its weather.’
Opening Hours: Mon to Saturday 10 am to 6pm
