Fiona McKenna: A View from Loughcrew, 80 x 120cm | Fiona McKenna: Echoes of the Land | Monday 9 September – Thursday 31 October 2024 | Toradh2 Gallery | Image: Fiona McKenna: A View from Loughcrew, 80 x 120cm | painting with quite heavy impasto, probably by palette knife; we see a rural landscape with a field in the foreground, two boulders to the left, a series of fenceposts cutting across the middle on a slight rising diagonal from left to right, with the leftmost posts farther from us; behind the fence are more fields, then low blue-ish hills; above is a grey and blue sky; the colours are pretty much what you would expect of an Irish landscape, with the exception of patches of pink, mostly in the foreground, sometimes quite saturated

This major exhibition of new works by Fiona McKenna takes us on a journey through county Meath and the Irish countryside. Fiona’s collection of vibrant and uplifting landscape paintings is a celebration of colour and nature. Her paintings capture special places – where memories are made, and moments are cherished. Each piece encourages reflection and suggests a deep connection with the land. Her contemporary artworks are full of energy, joy and atmosphere. The thick oil paint and rich textures create a sensory experience, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the magical Irish landscape.

Presented by Meath County Council Arts Office in association with Culture Night (Friday, September 20).
