Exhibitions and Information
The Beauty of imperfection.
Charlie Dutton Gallery. 1a princeton Street. London. WC1R 4AX
Dirt is something we are often reluctant to confront and prefer others to deal with. Aging is seen as a negative process. Instead of wrinkles we should see wisdom. In this exhibition I draw the attention to the beauty of dirt and decay. Often people don’t see the painterly marks on walls or the intensity of the orange in rust and pass by oblivious. This series of work questions what so many of us see as ugly’. Exhibition Running to 10th September 2011.

This exhibition provided an international platform and an alternative method of presenting artwork offering the potential to expose new, exciting skills and experimentation, to a much wider audience.

Is Mise Ireland, Beijing.
As an artist based in the north of Ireland I Never felt the need to base the concepts of my work on Northern Ireland’s political history, as it is a subject matter that is very personal to a lot of people. When exploring the theme for ‘Is Mise Ireland’, I felt the need to highlight just how much things have changed, for the better.
An intriguing aspect of growing up in Northern Ireland was that inbuilt ability to determine one’s religion, through their name, from their sporting interests and even location. Friends who came to visit from outside of Northern Ireland were always amazed at how some residential areas painted the kerbs of footpaths to reflect their political origin. For them it was strange; for people living here, it was normality.
I have grown up through the peace process and am lucky enough to witness the changes that have taken place in the last 15 years. Now religion is much less of an issue and we are finally moving into line with the rest of Ireland and Europe. The only problem now is choosing coordinating colour schemes
