Clare Henderson and James Kirwan have been friends for many years, making it very special to host this joint exhibition in SO Fine Art Editions. Both artists have created such unique and evocative work, yet similar to all good friendships, the works compliment and converse with one another’s on the wall, allowing the viewer to feel invited into this compelling dialogue. To celebrate their work and mutual admiration we asked them to tell us something that they particularly like about each other’s work. Clare – I still have some pieces James did in college and from his first show and I get such ..read more

Written by Aidan Dunne for Taffina Flood’s solo exhibition Work + Turn, 2021. Early on in Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blow-Up, the main protagonist, Thomas, an ultra fashionable photographer, wanders into the studio of his neighbour, Bill, an abstract painter, and finds him staring at a work he made five or six years previously. Bill explains that his paintings, which are pointillist abstracts (and very good ones; they are actually works by Ian Stephenson, rather than purpose-made props), have no paraphrasable meaning for him until he finds something to hang onto in them. Thomas turns his a ..read more

Samuel Walsh writing about his exhibition ‘Segments’. 5 June – 26 June, 2021 “Good drawing is, (as we have seen,) an abstract of natural facts; you cannot represent all that you would, but must continually be falling short, whether you will or no, of the force, or quantity, of Nature” – The Elements of Drawing, John Ruskin (1819-1900) My small Segment drawings, as their title suggests, are based on sections of larger drawings. Drawing is something I have always done, even before painting and, small drawings have always been done by me from or before larger drawings. *Not always but most times ..read more

Especially strange for Matthew, the work an artist puts into a solo exhibition is immense! At 2pm on Friday the 23 April, we hit the exhibition to go live and then phoned each other. But the response has been great. Matthew’s work is so incredibly beautiful and the interest and support for us as a gallery and for this incredibly talented artist proves that even when things are hard and different, we still really need art. It lifts us out of the ordinary. It opens another w ..read more
