GORMLEY'S FINE Art, one of Ireland's leading art galleries, has opened in Galway at 22 High Street, and will display works by Kenneth Webb, James Brohan, John Behan, Arthur Maderson, Ian Pollock, Gordon Harris, and Eileen Meagher.
Gormley's have galleries in Dublin and Belfast, along with an international presence through exhibiting at international art fairs and is run by Oliver Gormley and his two sons. The official opening for the Galway gallery is tomorrow from 7pm to 9pm and all are welcome.
“We have always been passionate about promoting Irish art," says Oliver. "With Galway having such a vibrant arts scene and so many talented artists, it feels a natural progression to open a gallery in the city. We are delighted be able to showcase our artists to our customers from the west of Ireland and hope to attract more important artists from the west to the gallery.”
The Galway gallery will be run by James Gormley, along with artist Gordon Harris. Primarily a figurative painter, Gordon infuses a harmony between the natural and the conceptual to create works that are provocative and dramatic. His work has been shown at the RHA annual exhibition in Dublin and he also exhibits regularly in Britain and France.
