FROM PUPIL TO MASTER,
SOLOMON FINE ART GALLERY, DUBLIN

From Pupil
to Master
is a contemporary glass exhibition at Solomon Fine Art,
Balfe Street, Dublin 2 from 12th to 27th October 2012. The exhibition
will feature new works by Roisin de Buitlear, Sinead Brennan, Karen
Donnellan, Peadar Lamb, Caroline Madden, Elizabeth McClure, Sara McEvoy,
Charlene McFarland, Fiona Murphy, Paula Stokes, James Toal and Suzannah
Vaughan.


Solomon Fine Art have been supporting contemporary glass
in Ireland for four decades and are delighted to present this exciting
exhibition of artists working in glass. From Pupil to Master will
feature the work of 12 artists in a celebration of mastery, mentorship
and method. An exciting mix of emerging and established artists will
exhibit together for the first time, showing the diversity and alchemy
of glass as a material for expression. The exhibition includes work by
graduates and senior lecturers, past and present, of the School of Glass
Design at the National College of Art and Design Dublin, the majority
of whom live and work in Ireland.


The exhibition comprises of
figurative sculpture, abstract compositions, drawings in colour and
line, encapsulated mark making. Studies in transparency, shadow or light
celebrate the innate qualities of glass; luscious colour, fluid form,
intricate refractions, translucent liquidity each piece a personal
dialogue with the material.


With only a
few graduates each year it is interesting to note how this particular
school has figured in the world of contemporary glass. Of the exhibiting
artists many have become dynamic personalities in the international
glass movement, mentors, educators and influential artists in the USA,
UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Some, although at the very
beginning of their careers, are already being heralded internationally
with awards and exhibitions. This exhibition relays the diversity of
this medium and the complexity with which Irish Artists are creating
work in glass. It remains to be seen if this exhibition reveals a visual
link or style between all of these artists whose lives have been
interwoven through material and origin. What is evident is a poetic
evocative exhibition of masterful new forms of expression.


From Pupil
to Master
will be opened by Louise Kennedy on Thursday 11th October
from 6pm to 8pm. A lecture and tour of the gallery (with some of the
exhibiting artists) will be held on Thursday 18th October at 6.30pm –
booking is essential. The gallery is open Monday to Friday 10am –
5:30pm, and Saturdays 10am – 1pm.
