I'm delighted to say I'll have two works in an upcoming show at Butler Gallery opening this Saturday as part of the Kilkenny Arts Festival . I'm honoured to show alongside a fantastic line up of national and international artists who have drawn from the world of sport.
I will be exhibiting a diptych, 'Sprinting woman, right to left' 'Sprinting man, left to right'. These works are intended to create a dialogue about how images are perceived and created. In my recent series of painted athletes the source imagery comes from the photofinish method of analogue photography used in sporting events. This process augments the figure as it captures it in motion, stopping time is its primary function. From this painting I generated a mirror image, a corresponding figure created by word prompts fed into an AI program.

On August 15th I'll join an exhibition panel discussion in Kilkenny, please join us if you're in town!

Best,

Colm

We are delighted to announce that we will reopen on Tuesday 11th May. We cannot wait to welcome you all back safely.

Our reopening exhibition is PERCEPT, by Irish artist Colm Mac Athlaoich and will run until 11th July.

Mac Athlaoich's paintings deal with ideas of materiality, process and perception. His work sits between figuration and abstraction, exploring the space between.

PERCEPT aims to address our ways of seeing and re-calling what has been told, how is an image, a scene and an object perceived upon a second viewing. Abstraction is a re-telling of an image, whether it is representative or not, it has gone through a process of re-telling.
