ART EXHIBITION IN CORK
Gottfried at Crawford Municipial Art Gallery in Cork
A local man on a recent visit to Cork, on paying a visit to the Crawford Art Gallery, thought the scenes in some of the beautiful landscape portraits on view looked rather familiar. Closer inspection showed the paintings were part of an exhibition of the work of Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein. Mr Helnwein, who now resides in Kilsheelan Castle, was born in Vienna in 1948. His Cork exhibition, ‘Irish and Other Landscapes’ includes one local scene 'Kiltinan', kindly loaned by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, and another landscape titled, 'Tullamaine'.
The Cork exhibition continues to September 4th and anyone in the vicinity of the Crawford Art Gallery will find a visit to the exhibition most rewarding. |

This internationally renowned artist also exhibits a number of large-scale (some are of seven metres in length), photo-realistic canvases. Mr Helnwein divides his time between Co. Tipperary and Los Angeles and his paintings draw upon the sublimity and drama of these contrasting environments as well as revealing the parallels of Irish and American terrains. Perhaps more recognised as a painter of highly emotive portraits, this exhibition reveals the influence of landscape throughout his career from the early Vienna cityscapes to the present series of Irish landscapes. He has exhibited extensively at key venues throughout the world and is currently preparing for a one-man show at the Fine Arts Museums, San Francisco (July 31, 2004 – January 16, 2005) and will have a retrospective exhibition at the China National Museum of Fine Arts, Beijing in 2005. The Cork exhibition continues to September 4th and anyone in the vicinity of the Crawford Art Gallery will find a visit to the exhibition most rewarding. |
