The Arthouse, Stradbally Presents Wind Swept Trees’ by Emma Barone
February 2012If you do one thing this week, go see ‘Wind Swept Trees’ by Emma Barone, at the Arthouse, Stradbally, Co Laois.
An exhibition entitled “Wind Swept Trees” by artist Emma Barone, opened at the Arthouse & Library, Stradbally, Co Laois, on Tuesday 7th February. It is on view until Friday 24th February, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday’s from 2.00pm-4.00pm or by appointment. The exhibition was launched by Artist-in-Residence Vera McEvoy. Vera Mc Evoy is the NCAD graduate artist who was awarded the first Laois County Council/NCAD bursary to work at the Arthouse Stradbally.
The general consensus by the audience attending the opening was that it is an exhibition worth-seeing. It was generally felt that the paintings were very colourful and vivid. They contained a lot of detail and it was clear that Emma’s arts and crafts skills were all drawn upon in the creation of the works. All the art works are on sale and would grace any wall.
Emma spent many years studying and working in the areas of animation, interior design, graphics and jewellery. She has also worked with stained glass, mosaic, architectural ceramics, visual merchandising and kitchen design. Her work has been featured in several magazines such as The Irish Arts Review, Senior Times, House and Home, Midland Arts, Midland Tribune and The Sunday Independent, among others. She has enjoyed ten successful solo exhibitions to date. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including several juried shows all over Ireland. Her works hang in public collections in the Amsterdam World Trade Centre, Offaly County Council Public Offices, Midland Regional Hospital and throughout Ireland, Europe and the United States.
Emma describes her work like the Irish weather, constantly changing and evolving.
The exhibition of work will be on display in gallery of the Arthouse & Library from Tuesday 7th February until Friday 24th February. The exhibition can be seen from 2.00pm-4.00pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday or by appointment.
