Donagh Carey was invited by the Catherine Hammond Gallery to have one of his paintings featured at VUE 2015, the annual art fair held at the Royal Hibernian Academy in early November. The exhibition is Ireland's most prestigious showcase for the top galleries and provides investors, collectors and visitors the opportunity to view the work of leading Irish contemporary artists.
Twenty galleries participated in Ireland's National Contemporary Art Fair this autumn at the RHA, Dublin.
The 'Epoch' series is a body of work informed by the entrances to the Monastic Hermitage on Skellig Michael, one of the Skellig Islands seven sea miles off the coast of Valentia. The remote Hermitage was built by monks in the 6th Century and inhabited for six hundred years before it was abandoned. This painting is a response to Donagh Carey's experiences on Skellig Michael.
'Epoch, Skelligs l' shown with the Catherine Hammond Gallery at VUE 2015.
