David Barrett’s work is reminiscent of Lucien Freud, richly worked oil on canvas, using oblique angles and sometimes, awkward composition, which gives the work a surprising intimacy. This is reinforced by the time it takes to produce each work and answers the question of why we have not seen more of this artists work before now. In regards to this exhibition “Home” Barrett says:
‘Most of my paintings are of my children. I had a notion that I might record their growing up…a sort of family album.’
As part of the Sirius Arts Centres policy to support local artists, engage local audiences and promote work of quality, David Barrett who is based in Midleton and works as head of the Art Department in Rochestown College will exhibit paintings from his Family Portraits series and his recently started nude series. David will give a talk on his work on CULTURE NIGHT 23 September at 7:30pm – Admission FREE
Gallery hours: Wednesday – Friday 11am – 5pm / Saturday & Sunday 2pm - 5pm / Monday and Tuesday closed / Extra Opening Culture Night Friday 23rd of September 6-10pm

Gary Kearney gathers a large body of photographic images comprised of architecture, perspective and natural lighting as source material for his paintings. Kearney’s starkly modernist style is intriguing in that it offers a perspective of Cork City, which is at once banal and poetic.
‘Through my work I am attempting to portray various aspects of the city.’
