‘The Art of Place: People and Landscape of County Clare’, inaugural exhibition in the new Súil Gallery
Súil Gallery, developed by Clare Arts Office, recently opened at Causeway Link, Ennis to great acclaim.
The inaugural exhibition in the new gallery, ‘The Art of Place: People and Landscape of County Clare’, taking place from November 15 to January 31, inclusive, features photography based on the book of the same name.
The Art of Place: People and Landscapes of County Clare offers a glimpse into the personal lives and creative processes of 31 artists who live in or come from County Clare. Central to the exhibition is the photography of award-winning photographer John Kelly, who captures people and places that are vital to the cultural landscape of Clare in terms of creativity and inspiration.
Accompanying John’s photography are extracts written by the contributing artists, including writers, visual artists, musicians, composers, sculptors and filmmakers. The project is a wonderful celebration of creativity, diversity, and storytelling, of which the contributors are masters.
The Art of Place: People and Landscape of County Clare was published in 2022 and edited by Peadar King and Anne Jones. The photographs by John Kelly, featured in this exhibition, were commissioned by Clare County Council through the Per Cent for Art Scheme.
Copies of the book and selected prints from the exhibition are available from the Gallery. The exhibition runs until the end of January.
