‘Meanderings of a Colourful Mind’: a painting exhibition by Martina Furlong, Marja Van Kampen & Olivia O’Keeffe
Venue: The Clare Museum, Ennis
Date: 19th December, 2023, to 26th January, 2024
Clare Arts Office, in conjunction with the Clare Museum, is delighted to present ‘Meanderings of a Colourful Mind’ – a collaborative painting exhibition by Marja van Kampen, Olivia O’Keeffe and Martina Furlong.
The elements that unite these three female artists, as well as their differences, make this a particularly strong collaboration.
Firstly, all three artists are pure colourists with a clear fascination for the relationships between colours. They have a natural ability to create a certain mood and intensity by optimising the effect of colours through their placement.
Secondly, all three artists are refreshingly playful in both their paint application and their imaginative depictions. These landscapes of the imagination emanate a sense of freedom and fun. The three artists have a very distinct and unique style and method of self-expression and yet they harmonise amazingly well together.
This wonderful exhibition is free of charge and runs until 26th January, 2024. Everyone is welcome.
