The Kettle Club at Rí Rá and The Globe

Last night was 'Female Allstars Night' , a great chance to see some of the talent out there in Dublin both in art and in music. One of my highlights was Ophelia, a dublin based talent who combines a rap style with melodic sounds that mirror life in urban Ireland today. A tiger cub, Ophelia has a lot to say about the way the streets of Dublin treat her. And of course, she had the whole crowd going, with the rhythm of her words and her captivating voice.

I was very proud to have been included (at the last minute!) with 2 of my paintings being displayed in there. Hanging art in clubs is the new way to do it. The younger artists out there who are afraid of the older galleries, can put their work up for relatively little cost, and get the coverage they desire. The prices they make for the pieces won't mirror the gallery prices, but there is no commission and the work is being shown to a much wider demographic. The future of us lies with us, and I have decided in that short space of time, to bring my art out into the world in the ways I know how, rather than having to do it exactly as the generation before have done.

Oh yeah, and The Kennedy Gallery in Harcourt Street had the opening of the Christmas show last night, and I had a painting in it. There was a really good turn out to the opening, and I was surprised as it was quite a miserable night out.

I look forward to posting more blogs on here about many more future art projects... Until then Good Luck
