Hannah Mooney’s paintings display an uncompromising lack of pretension. Her territory continues to be the West of Ireland where there is endless possibility and where embellishment is anathema. In this exhibition she has added subjects, painted and drawn the lonely tree, blasted by salt winds, bare in winter, unsentimental sentinel of a harsh beauty. And she has come indoors, in the half-light of dawn or dusk, and delineated simple still life: a jug of a few flowers or a plate of pears.

This suite of paintings is the product of hours spent in the heat of the Mediterranean and the south of Spain; sketching my way along broiling coastal paths or in the forgiving shade of a palm tree. Each one of these images is an attempt to bottle up sunshine, to capture a moment of tranquillity and colour.

We welcome Daniel Freyne’s first solo exhibition with The Gallery. Formally trained as a blacksmith, Freyne’s work is a modern representation of a timeless craft; a homage to the foundations of blacksmithing, yet a distinct breakaway from the romanticised notions of what a smith is and is not.

The New Baroque celebrates contemporary jewellery design which emphasises aspects of opulence, drama, and intricate narrative detailing, blending classical richness with modern innovation. Included are statement pieces that feel both timeless and theatrical, evoking the grandeur of the Baroque era while aligning with bold, expressive trends. There is a sense of the ornamental blended with artistic flair and individuality.
