Damien Flood: “As Above, So Below“

Friday 7 February – Friday 28 March 2025
Damien Flood: Torn Landscape, 2024, oil on hessian, oil on raw linen, rosemary, staples 153 x 127 cm | Damien Flood: “As Above, So Below“ | Friday 7 February – Friday 28 March 2025 | Green On Red Gallery | Image: Damien Flood: Torn Landscape, 2024, oil on hessian, oil on raw linen, rosemary, staples 153 x 127 cm | most of the canvas is not painted, and it appears a textured warm brown-tan; painted onto it we see three shapes that are roughly flower-liie – leaves of dark green, other leaves (?) of a pale greyish-green, orange shapes, textured white paint; two pieces of other canvas – perhaps the raw linen, which is fairly dark – appear to have been stuck to the first canvas; these pieces are oddly shaped – one almost a square and somewhat centred on the image, the other fairly crumpled and attached towards the bottom right; this second piece seems to be decorated with a flower motif

Green On Red Gallery is excited to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Damien Flood, his 7th solo show with the gallery in Dublin, followed by another solo presentation of his work this year at Art Brussels ( 24 – 27 April, 2025 ) Booth 5E-37, Brussels Expo, Halls 5 & 6, Place de la Belgique 1, 1020 Brussels, Belgium.

This exhibition sees the artist further explore his interest in the history and materiality of painting. Culture is born of civilization, a tool to question the world around us. Art can bring us closer to understanding that world. This has been a core concern in Flood’s work since he started. Using abstract and representational painting and sculpture is, for him, a way to dissect and upend the world, showing us a way to look and to see afresh.

Meditations on death and the afterlife continue to abound in As Above, So Below.
