Artist Emma Barone will bring her new exhibition, ‘Coastal Trees’ to Watergate Theatre Gallery, Kilkenny City, from 8th Oct – 12th Nov 2010.
‘Coastal Trees’ is a project which aims to deliver a series of site specific tree paintings. The artist has long been fascinated by the shape trees adopt on the West Coast of Ireland. This shape, or form, presents as a distinctive windblown profile, one that is sculpted by the elements. The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean is a major determining factor in terms of influencing and moulding the shape of the trees. Emma says of her work: ‘Trees have an energy which absorbs, responds and emits in a cyclical, generational, manner. It is my intention to capture these layers, through the medium of art and to share my vision in a way that the observer can connect to and re-establish an already existing relationship with past, present and future.’
Opening hours: Monday–Friday 10am–7pm, Saturday 2pm–7pm
