GLENDALOUGH…by Adrian Margey
THE countdown to this weekend’s exhibition and sale of artwork depicting iconic local landmarks, landscapes and musical traditions by Adrian Margey is on.
The Kilrea artist will be returning to the Killyhevlin Hotel Enniskillen over Easter Weekend (this Saturday 30th March – Monday 1st April) with a new collection of forty pieces depicting local beauty spots like Devenish and Boa Island, Enniskillen Castle, Florence Court, Portora, Lough Erne and Lough Navar.
This will be Margey’s fifth consecutive year exhibiting at the Killyhevlin. In the past couple of years his work has become increasingly sought after outside of Northern Ireland.
The Arts Council of Northern Ireland recently supported the promotion of Margey’s work in the USA to great effect and backed his debut Dublin Exhibition earlier this month.
“I am delighted to be returning to Fermanagh again this Easter with a new body of work. I continue to take inspiration from this beautiful county and hope that my colourful representations of the area will appeal to local visitors to the show,” enthused Margey.
Much of Margey’s work uses bold colour, strong shapes and expressive texture to conjure up moods and evoke an emotional response from the viewer.
Palette knife, brush work and finger-painting techniques are used to bring a new perspective to the familiar.
