Ronnie Hughes : Shrine
Rubicon Gallery, Dublin
19 September - 13 October 2001
Ronnie Hughes’ recent paintings resonate with echoes of high modernist abstraction but their contemporary palette and wry humour pitch them firmly in the present day. Hughes is interested in a synthetic representation of Nature. Titles such as Wood edge, Nightsong and Noonblind point to the fact that these sparse yet well-worked paintings are a hybrid of romatic yearning and cool detachment. The artist lives and works between mountains and sea in Co Sligo.
