COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n

Collages: Paul Forde Cialis, Penny Dixey and Carol White
\nat the Blue House Gallery in Schull, County Cork, Ireland
\n20 April-2 May 2018<\/h2>\n

Opening reception: Friday, 20 April, 6-8PM<\/p>\n

In collage, the image is made from an assemblage of different materials such as magazine and newspaper clippings, paint, bits of coloured or handmade papers or indeed, anything the artist may wish to utilize that can be stuck to the surface. Each of the three artists taking part in the Blue House Gallery exhibition approach their work in different ways, which will result in a diverse and exciting exhibition.<\/p>\n

Paul Forde Cialis<\/strong>\u2019s collage\/paintings hold up a mirror to the darker side of human nature. He observes challenging aspects of the human condition which he expresses through allegory, humour and mischief. To the viewer, they work as beautiful images that can pose sometimes unsettling questions.<\/p>\n

Penny Dixey<\/strong> explores the making of new worlds and lives from old images. She loves the feeling of stillness, suspension and possibility in icons, thangkas and medieval European art, and this is reflected in a similarly thoughtful and timeless quality in her collages.<\/p>\n

Carol White<\/a><\/strong> breathes alternate lives into familiar art historical faces–Rembrandt\u2019s women and Durer\u2019s men are among the subjects of her paper tableaux. She composes scenarios from simple materials sourced from magazines, and is inspired by world news, the realities of ageing, weather, family relationships, art history and film.<\/p>\n
