Ged Quinn

The entrance alone to Wilkinson Gallery leads you to believe you're in for a visual sensory paradise and the present exhibit doesn't let you down. In the vast raw gallery Ged Quinn's rich paintings of iconic landscapes from past century's and more contemporary references to popular culture and scenes of destruction, marry together well. In his paintings (some 6' x 9') the head on collision of lush pastures and political leaders is met with an unbelievable attention to detail in reference and depiction. These painting have been painstakingly constructed, layering beauty with death in both past and present and the result is no less than perfect execution. Ged Quinn's paintings really need to be seen first hand to truly appreciate his skill, intellect and humor and the message they hold about our present course. Showing until 6th January 2008.
