Image: Damien Meade | although it looks very much like a photo of a sculptured head, it is probably a painting; we see a face looking at us, grey towards the top, dark purple towards the bottom, bouffant hair, looking back at us; lit from upper left • “On Waking is a group painting exhibition featuring new and existing work by Jenny Eden, Christopher Hanlon, Harminder Judge, Gillian Lawler, Damien Meade, Karen Roulstone and Rebecca Sitar, painters from Ireland and the UK, whose paintings communicate wonder and encounter, things half-glimpsed, remembered and imagined. It brings together paintings with an otherworldly sensibility, where the slippage between recollection and metamorphosis, between what is real or imagined, is played out in a series of new realities.

His paintings of Istanbul, a city where past and present collide, capture the pulse of its architecture, markets, and bustling trade routes. Vibrant still-life works, echoing both modernist and classical styles, celebrate the vitality of food, movement, and cultural exchange. Cormican, a self-taught painter, curator, and author of Camille Souter: The Mirror in the Sea, has exhibited widely across Ireland and Northern Ireland.”
