Nicolas Byrne and Benedikt Hipp eschew a current European trend towards large, heroic expressionist painting in favour of a scale and gesture that is more intimate, complex and inquisitive. Each practice has its own distinct palette and language resulting in two very unique approaches to the difficulties of painting somewhere between abstraction and figuration. Their work betrays an informed knowledge and critique of early European modernism without becoming nostalgic or laden with post-modern referencing. www.gallery@kerlin.ie 670 9093

Revisiting is a new body of work by Wexford based artist Eamonn Doran Jnr. The work is based on visits the artist made to local houses of historic significance in County Wexford. A selection of the houses includes Coolbawn Castle, Rathnure; Castleboro House, Clonroche; St. Johns Manor, Enniscorthy; and Wilton Castle, Bree. The time invested in visiting and re-visiting the houses serves as an important aspect to the work as it reflects in some way upon the mechanisms by which we remember the past. The artist documented the houses through photography and the paintings were produced after the visits were made to each house. It is the artist’s secondary experience that is translated in the paintings and through the working method he comments on the subjective accounting of time. Any act of remembering reassesses memories, altering them to be more adaptive for the next time you try to remember. And each memory is associative, meaning that when Doran, for example, thinks about the visit he made to Castleboro House, it's likely to tap into memories of visits to other houses. An important feature in this body of work includes slate carvings that frame a selection of the paintings. Once again, the artist seems to be commenting on time: time invested in labour, the disintegration of materials with time, and the changing significance objects acquire through time. Doran is not making any definite statement through this work but instead refers to the fragile processes of memory and how we remember and account for the past. www.wexfordartscentre.ie 053 9123764

Arts Ability is a partnership initiative between Wexford County Council, HSE South, The Arts Council and County Wexford Community Workshop (New Ross) which aims at providing inclusive opportunities for people to celebrate creativity and develop their art practice in a professional manner. The visual art programme at CWCW New Ross was established during 2003, and many artists have developed their practice across a range of different media. During 2006, a studio group was formed to further develop professional art practice among the artists. This exhibition entitled Beyond will feature the work of several local artists from the Arts Ability Studio and will include various mediums such as painting, sculpture and printing. A series of workshops facilitated by the featured artists will be held to coincide with the exhibition. www.wexfordartscentre.ie 053 9123764

Laura Fitzgerald explores the common notion of packing up and moving on, and reveals all the strangeness of that movement. The new work looks at change, newness, new landscape and the surreal, while also acknowledging the old and the forgotten. The ideological study of the home plays the central role in explaining an unspoken story of moving on from a present stage to new ideas about the future. Old forgotten rooms, stairways leading to further hidden spaces, discarded implements from childhood days and furniture all create the visual link to our collective past. Laura’s work aims to touch upon this collective memory pool but also open the mind to wondering where other shapes mean or corridors, stairs, passages lead… because the fact is we know a little to a point, but beyond that we can only imagine. The Talbot Gallery is participating in Dublin Culture Night As part of Dublin Culture Night September 19th 2008 Laura will be creating an event within the Talbot Gallery. The viewer will be invited to relate a most vivid memory which will then translated into a drawing by the artist. www.talbotgallery.com 01 8556599

The exhibition Manhattan presents new painting work by Dublin born artist Cody. The content of this body of work is based on a three month period the artist spent in Greenwich Village in 1996, and other observations since. It is through the artist’s experience of varied cultures in Manhattan reinforced with the knowledge of the history of immigration that the ideas of chance and possibility were explored and are clearly evident in this series. Although lacking a cohesive narrative, the paintings, through their titles, suggest an implied action and potential. It is through this notion of latent action and consequence that the artist conveys the randomness of circumstance by which identities are formed. This notion is reinforced by the artist’s use of abstracted forms of colour that define an interpretative space to allow the viewer to relate their experience in the meaning of the work. These abstracted forms verge on operating as signs or hieroglyphics suggesting or perhaps warning the viewer of the haphazard nature of circumstance and context that can frame and inform our lives. www.wexfordartscentre.com 053 9123764

Karl Burke is the recipient of the second annual Emerging Visual Artist Award, a partnership initiative between the Arts Council, Wexford Arts Centre and Wexford County Council. The initiative is aimed at recognising and supporting the development of committed emerging artists with a monetary award and a solo exhibition at Wexford Arts Centre. Karl Burke’s practice is primarily concerned with how three dimensional space is perceived and consists of three dimensional installations, built structures, sound, video and photographs. A recent body of work entitled Wooden Drawings involves the placement of uniform lengths of processes wood in various forms in a particular environment. Through these three dimensional interventions and structures, Burke endeavors to form a physical and emotive relationship between the art object, space/place and, in particular, the viewer. It is the artist's intention to subtly cause the viewer to take account of his/her surroundings, natural or architectural. This exhibition will consist of a number of three dimensional installations and build structures made in County Wexford throughout 2008. www.wexfordartscentre.ie 053 9123764

Orla Bates work is primarily concerned with landscape and her inspiration ranges from the local sombre Irish landscape as well as places the artist has visited through travelling. She employs a vocabulary of simplified forms, lines and a palette of muted colours. The landscapes are pared down as the artist endeavors to emphasize her own subjective experience of a place. The process of printmaking offers the artist endless possibilities in mark-making and the unique properties of printmaking are a constant source of inspiration for development of the work. Bates is interested in using immediate and direct printing methods such as dry point, collograph and monoprinting and combines these techniques in each print. www.wexfordartscentre.ie 053 9123764
