Art at the Manor: Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort, Blessington, Co. Wicklow

Gormleys presents Art at the Manor, an exhibition bringing  together three acclaimed Irish artists, Eamonn Ceannt,  Martin Mooney and John Morris, for a unique celebration of 
Irish sculpture, painting and landscape. 

Set against the spectacular backdrop of Blessington Lakes  and the Wicklow Mountains, the exhibition presents three distinctive artistic voices whose work explores movement, landscape, light and the Irish environment in different ways.

MARTIN MOONEY

Martin Mooney is regarded as one of Ireland’s most  accomplished fine art painters. 
A graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, he has exhibited extensively in Ireland and internationally, including  sell-out exhibitions in Dublin, London, Toronto and New 
York. His work is celebrated for its rich colour, atmospheric landscapes and highly developed technical approach.

EAMONN CEANNT

Eamonn Ceannt works exclusively in bronze and is particularly recognised for his figurative sculptures depicting movement, inspired by dance, opera and ballet.

His sculptures are tactile with a strong commitment to form and the juxtaposition of soft curves and planes, inviting the viewer to feel and touch the surface.

His work is held in numerous private and public collections, including UCD, Blarney Castle, Avolon, Bewley’s and Trinity Townhouse Hotel.

JOHN MORRIS

Born in Dublin in 1958 but  based in Blessington, John Morris is one of Ireland's most recognised landscape painters. Primarily self-taught, he has exhibited in more than fifty exhibitions across Ireland, including numerous solo exhibitions in London and with Gormleys. His work explores the effects of light on landscapes, water and figures through vibrant, spontaneous brushwork.

The exhibition runs daily from 12th - 29th November.
