between the shores

This Thursday, the 28th of November, at 6 PM, Red’s Gallery in Dublin will open its doors to an extraordinary exhibition, Between the Shores. This collaborative showcase brings together the powerful works of myself, Anthony Carey, and the incredibly talented Sean Carver, offering a unique exploration of human experience through color, texture, and storytelling.

A Meeting of Perspectives

Sean Carver and I approach art from different yet complementary perspectives. Sean’s work delves deeply into the psyche, exploring emotional memory, isolation, and the yearning for light and healing. His process is a journey of discovery, with each piece evolving through layered textures, marks, and found objects that reveal a dreamlike, contemplative world. His paintings invite viewers to reflect on their inner landscapes and the delicate balance between trauma and hope.

In contrast, my work focuses on themes of belonging, transformation, and shared human experiences. Using plaster, silicone, and acrylics, I create textured, abstract figurative works that reflect the emotional depth of human connection and resilience. From bold red skies symbolizing passion and change to fractured figures that speak to strength in vulnerability, my pieces aim to resonate with universal stories.

What to Expect at the Exhibition

Alongside larger works, the exhibition will feature a range of smaller framed works on paper and smaller works on canvas. These pieces, offered at affordable prices, make art an accessible and meaningful gift for any occasion. Whether you're looking to add a unique piece to your collection or give the gift of art to someone special, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Between the Shores is more than an art exhibition—it’s an invitation to connect, reflect, and experience the beauty of two artistic journeys converging. Each painting in the show, whether Sean’s or mine, tells its own story while contributing to a larger narrative of transformation and human connection.

Highlights of the exhibition include:

• Sean’s hauntingly beautiful compositions, which combine gestural marks with rich textures and poetic references, creating a dreamlike theatre of emotions and memory.
• My textured, abstract figurative works, which explore the themes of belonging, the collective unconscious, and the search for connection amidst change and adversity.
• A curated selection of pieces that harmonize our individual styles while showcasing the depth of our individual voices.
