Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host a much anticipated exhibition of new paintings by artist Tom Climent. In
this, the artist’s third solo exhibition at Solomon, Climent explores
themes of hope, rebirth and rejuvenation while continuing to challenge
the materiality and mobility of the painted surface.
"These paintings, produced as the world hurtled towards a global pandemic, knew nothing of what was to come, but saw signs of it everywhere...and it presents the possibility of a whole new world growing from something that might appear to be beyond rejuvenation, a life force that everlasts" - Cristín Leach (from her catalogue essay)
Climent’s work falls within the tradition of landscape painting while exploring the bridge between real and imaginary worlds. While his practice touches on both abstraction and representation, the geometric structures in Everlast suggest natural forms in dream-like landscape settings - rising hill-tops, soaring mountain vistas, emerging glaciers and distant islands. Summits yet to climb and lands yet to be explored.
Having originally trained as an engineer, Tom Climent studied at Crawford College of Art, going on to win the Victor Treacy Award and the Tony O’Malley Award. Climent has exhibited extensively throughout Ireland with solo shows in the Hunt Museum, Limerick, Fenton Gallery, Cork, Temple Bar Gallery & Studios, Dublin, GOMA Gallery of Modern Art, Waterford and the Luan Gallery, Athlone. He has taken part in group exhibitions in China, Australia, New York and London. His painting Sundial was shorlisted for the 2020 Jackson's Painting Prize. Climent's work can be found in the public and corporate collections of the Office of Public Works, the Central Bank of Ireland, the National Treasury Management Agency of Ireland, University College Cork, University College Dublin, the National Concert Hall, Dublin, and Smurfit Business School, as well as numerous private collections both at home and abroad.
