    LAWRENCE WEINER AT KERLIN GALLERY

    Wednesday, February 10th, 2021

    New York based artist Lawrence Weiner celebrates his 79th birthday with an exhibition at Dublin’s Kerlin Gallery. It is available to view online until lockdown restrictions live. The artist defines his sculptural medium simply as ‘language + the material referred to’ and sees himself as a sculptor rather than a conceptualist. The Dublin exhibition is comprised of three sculptures and three works on paper. The sculptures in text, ‘HELD JUST ABOVE THE CURRENT’, ‘IN LINE WITH SOMETHING ELSE’ and ‘PUT WITH THE OTHER THINGS’ are presented in Irish and English and are scaled to fill the length of the walls, creating a new, immersive experience in the gallery space.

    THE life and legacy of artist Stephen McKenna, who died in May, is celebrated in an exhibition at the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin.   London born he studied at The Slade in the 1960’s and settled in Carlow in the 1990’s.  He was one of the first artists exhibited at Kerlin on its founding in 1988 and he continued to show there for almost 30 years.

    This celebratory show brings together a selection of paintings produced within the last decade of his life and includes landscapes, still life, domestic interiors and street scenes. His work is represented in the collections of IMMA, the Tate, London, Berlinische Galeries, the Musees Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, Brussels and in many private and public collections. The exhibition will close with a celebratory event as part of the Dublin Gallery weekend on Sunday, November 25.

    DEATH OF STEPHEN MCKENNA

    The death of artist Stephen McKenna has been announced by The Kerlin Gallery.  The London born artist studied at The Slade in the 1960’s.  Rather than conforming to the era’s dominant trends of pop art and conceptualism, he defied expectation by turning instead to figurative painting – unfashionable in London at that time – and began to develop a unique painterly practice informed by diverse art historical precedents.

    He moved to Germany in 1971 and, after living and working in numerous European countries, settled in Co. Carlow in the 1990’s.  The impact of this extensive continental travel is evident in McKenna’s painting, not only in its subject matter – though European cityscapes and landscapes are frequently represented – but in the lyricism of his approach, artfully fusing classical and romantic painting traditions. He died in Co. Carlow on May 4.

    NEW WORK BY SEAN SCULLY AT DUBLIN’S KERLIN GALLERY

    Monday, June 22nd, 2015

    NEW work by Sean Scully is on show at the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin from June 26 to August 29.  With exhibitions of Scully now running at the National Gallery of Ireland and at the Crawford Gallery in Cork from June 27 to September 12 there is what amounts almost to a national celebration of the artist underway in Ireland this summer. He turns 70 this year. At Kerlin there is a show of new paintings and pastels from his “Landline” series. The series makes reference to the edge of the land and Scully has removed almost all vertical forms from this work.  Many of the works are painted on aluminium, a relatively new development in his practice.
