my friend, conall kelleher, recently had a solo show at the pallas project studio, dublin. gently titled ‘A Light Drift’ i had the pleasure of photographing it and wish to share it with you all.
conall’s work incorporates a mixture of installation, film, painting and illustration, all centering around the concept of finding guidance, while lost in society, with the help of nature. nature finds its way into this show through the delicate drawings of animals, (this show in particular sees a bear appear frequently) and a few branches here and there. while quietly enveloped with the sound of notes plucked on a ukelele. his work is a manual of sorts, a form of self help with, as the artist states, ‘a personal and fictional directionlessness’.
each piece in the gallery space leads the viewer into a state of calm. the overall tone of the show does not overwhelm and the observance one experiences seems to only be disturbed when you realize how sore your knees are from sitting on the wooden floor for so very long, just immersed. whether immersed in the peaceful folds of a woolen blanket or the darkest blues of a circular painting, dotted with such wise eyes, it is impossible to leave the space without a gentle breathing pattern and a light heart.
