Chanelle Walshe
15th Oct 2009 - 18th Oct 2009
Chanelle Walshe is a Dublin based artist currently in her final year at NCAD.
Walshe’s self-reflective work highlights her interest in the enigmatic relationship between artist and nature. Her latest work, a series of large scale paintings based on nests and cocoons, pays close attention to this concept.
Walshe says of her work ; ‘I want to project an intimate understanding of these natural forms through painting, I like to handle paint – literally throw it around – as if I have just put my hand into the earth and pulled up a fistful of muck and roots. Examination and understanding makes my paintings what they are.’
Walshe’s exhibition ‘Paintings’ opens in The Joinery on Arbour Hill, Stoneybatterr, Dublin 7 on October 15th and continues until October 18th.
