Ronan Halpin
Of Birds and Beasts 26 May - 17 Jun 2017 Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host an exhibition of new sculpture by Ronan Halpin which opens on the 26th May 2017 and runs until the 17th June 2017.
The work for this exhibition ranges in size from small to medium-scale and in style from representational to purely abstract. Ronan Halpin, a master of materials, uses painted steel, brass, bronze, copper, polished concrete and the recycled parts of old machines. He also uses Corten steel which has been allowed to rust and take on the patina of its surroundings. These works were designed to inhabit the landscape and were shaped by it. Colour is very much to the fore in this body of work.
Ronan Halpin lives and works on Achill Island in Co. Mayo. He has worked as a sculptor for almost 30 years and is a graduate of the National School of Art & Design and Yale School of Art in the US where he achieved a Masters in Fine Art in 1984. His work is in numerous private collections, including those of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney and former Taoiseach John Bruton.
The title of this exhibition 'Of Birds and Beasts' makes a reference to the title of John Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men' and also to the fantastical work of Lewis Carroll. The work on show evokes the mystery and mythology of dreams with references to history, archaeology and religion.
As part of this mythology of dreams, there are animals in the form of winged horses, warrior birds and crowned bulls. These animal shapes are both abstract and representational; they merge and blend to create a more mystical reality. The Assyrian bull, 'Shedu' or horse 'Pegasus' are creatures from another world, the tree, 'Lugh' is half carcass half machine. The birds while scything through the air in full, free flight are still firmly rooted to the ground. Eoghan Nolan recently wrote in The Irish Arts Review, 'The work itself combines character and power, balancing the mythological and the vernacular in a series of arresting counterpoints".
Of Birds and Beasts has travelled from Westport Custom House where it was shown from April 20th to May 14th 2017. Ronan Halpin also showed a body of work in an outdoor space in Westport, Co Mayo in 2012 which became the Carraholly Project. This exhibition was subsequently shown in the Solomon Gallery in Dublin.

Bridget Flinn
On the Edge 28 Apr - 20 May 2017 Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host an exhibition of new paintings by the popular and hugely talented Bridget Flinn. Opening on the 28th of April 2017 and running until the 2oth of May 2017 this will by Bridget's much anticipated début solo exhibition with the gallery and will feature a selection of her stunning acrylic flower still lives. Variously sized and scaled they are each lively and expressive with a characterful and joyous quality.
Bridget's flower paintings are distinctive for their semi-abstracted, close-cropped representation. Each piece, while appearing spontaneous, is exquisitely worked with a harmonious balance in both colour and light as she brings a contemporary sensibility to a timeless subject. Her background and experience in natural history illustration is evident in the keen observation.
Bridget Flinn studied Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and later at the Royal College of Art in London. She has worked as an illustrator and has a particular interest in natural history illustration. Flinn has exhibited widely in Ireland, including at the Royal Hibernian Academy Annual Exhibition in 2014 and the Royal Ulster Academy in 2011, 2013 and 2014.
