This isn't one of my pictures....I only wish it was.
It's a scraperboard drawing by Brian Gallagher.
Brian has been a friend and colleague for several years, and his scraperboard illustration work is exceptional.
On Thursday evening I have the honour of opening Brian's new exhibition, Sgraffito, at 8pm at the UAC.
His drawings from his homeplace in Donegal have a moody intensity and a definitive sense of place that bring to mind Andrew Wyeth's portraits of farm buildings in Maine.
The show runs from Friday 30th September until 17th October 2011
Viewing Mon to Sat from 5.30pm

PJ, It's wonderful that we get to see your friends' work as well. I agree about the resemblance to Wyeth, it's got a twist of Gorey, too. A good, solid haunting feel--love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amal, so glad you liked the post and seeing Brian's work
