The Doorway Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition by Roisin O'Farrell called 'Tea Cup Scandal'
which will officially open on Thursday, September 5th by Gavin Lambe Murphy between 6-8pm on 24 South Frederick Street. The exhibition will run until September 26th.
Known for her colourful, sumptuous paintings of interiors, artist Róisín O'Farrell is introducing a collection of delightful paintings based on her Grandmother's china teacups.
The beautiful antiques, product of a much more formal time, find themselves piled high in delightful constructions looking both old and new at the same time, sculptural and playful. Stacked in twos, threes, and sometimes in precarious piles of five that feel like they could fall over, the teacups are an appealing combination of old world charm and risk.
Like much of O’Farrell’s work the inanimate becomes characterful and in her hands this delicate 1930’s china becomes both contemporary and fun. Granny might not be amused, but the viewer is delighted. Glorious beautiful teacups set against the lush impasto palette knife backgrounds that have made
O'Farrell a favorite. A ‘must see’ at the Doorway Gallery.
