Eithne Jordan - Night in a City

Rubicon Gallery - Dublin - 10th Feb - 20th Mar 2010

10 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2 Tel: +353.1.6708055
Website  |  Email  | View The Catalogue
 
Jan 2010 - Bare of people, and eschewing the well known tours of architectural highlights, Eithne Jordan's Night in a City series focuses on Vienna. Resonating with a sense of emptiness, these beautifully executed paintings are pregnant with action that is either to come, or else is taking place just out of view. Jordan's delicate handling of paint prevents the heaviness of blank concrete walls, or the fa?ades of nightime?s sleeping buildings from becoming overbearing and oppressive, instead what is revealed is a more intimate portrait of a city left for a moment to be simply itself. "These images are the result of two working trips to Vienna, the second of which was in the dead of winter. Stark and cold, I found it interested me more than my previous summer visit" the artist says. Dublin-born Eithne Jordan studied at Dun Laoghaire School of Art and at Hochschule der Kunste, Berlin. A member of Osdana, she is one of Ireland's leading figurative painters exhibiting widely in Europe.

Why Invest In Irish Art

"The Irish art market has grown faster than any other international art market worldwide. Each year sees unprecedented records smashing those of the previous year," writes David Britton in the Irish Arts Review, and he ends,"it was a very good year for Irish art." Irish artists continue to set personal records at Sotheby's, Christie's and auction houses in Ireland itself....A couple of years ago, Forbes - the key magazine for the world's top entrepreneurs - commented that "since 1990, 20th-century Irish art, Dutch Old Masters and English sporting pictures have been the art market's three fastest-rising sectors - with the Irish climbing the most steeply."
