New art exhibition in Nenagh

D'Uluru Abstract Art - Oceans of Emotions: An exhibition by Deirdre Ní Fhaolacháin, was officially opened by Sarah Fogarty, President of County Tipperary Chamber, at Nenagh Arts Centre, on Friday evening last.

Artist Deirdre invites the viewer to not just view, but to feel, and to lose oneself in a sea of colour, motion and meaning. Her paintings use abstract forms, textures and a colourful palette to evoke deep emotion.

She creates a visual language that is both emotive and visceral. Occasionally Deirdre reaches dry-land in the form of a landscape, but the emotional ebb and flow of the water is never far away.

Originally from Australia, now living by Lough Derg in Garrykennedy; Ní Fhaolacháin's unique style of painting has evolved over a lifetime of play and experimentation. Painting in acrylics and oils, she finds freedom of expression in conveying feelings and emotions in her work, with the use of vibrant colours and gestural mark makings. She creates a visual language that is both emotive and visceral.
