JORGENSEN FINE ART

The Face of the Land - Press Release

September 5th - 20th 2008

Return to Landscapes Exhibition
Landscapes 2008 may not have materialised but Jorgensen Fine Art’s Landscapes Exhibition will lift your spirits out of the trough of despond. Colour and light are the principal components of the show. The works of Barbara Rae , Maryvonne le Deist and Anthony Murphy conjure up the scintillating sparkle of the Mediterranean. Caroline Canning, Maria Levinge and Joe Dunne take us west to the Atlantic whilst Mike Fitzharris and Caroline Canning show us the more familiar Irish Sea. Several of our artists travel to Italy, Conor Walton to Verona and Peter Arguimbau, a newcomer to the gallery, to Venice, the preferred destination of Martin Mooney. The doom and gloom of the credit crunch melts away before the comforting colours of the still-lifes offered by Alexey Krasnovsky, Rose Stapleton, Allan Madsen, Ian McAllister, Therese McAllister (no relation !) and James English. For recession relief try the welcoming interiors of Lindy Guinness and Penny Graham, another newcomer to JFA.

Since ‘Landscapes’s lease hath all too short a date’, we may take comfort in the meditative qualities of Evie Hone’s Deposition and Patrick Pye’s Figures at the Cross. Mary Swanzy’s lyrical Lute Player will certainly lift the spirits whilst the cool abstractions of Tony O’Malley, Liam Belton and Jupp Linssen will lower the blood pressure in these trying times !
