Inanimate Beauty

Stone gallery presents Inanimate Beauty in conjunction with PhotoIreland Festival 2010. Inanimate Beauty is a solo exhibition of photographs and sculptures by the multi-discipline artist Emer Roberts. I am slow to voice my opinion on the work as I really do think the work speaks for itself. But what I will say is well apart from absolutely loving the exhibition the work is multi-layered with a beautiful sense of subtly and I love the way the tones in some of the photographic work are Caravaggio-esque. At this point I suppose I should mention the subject matter is rats...rats are the artist's muse if you like. The artist has an amazing ability to make you look at what you think you know, what you think is familiar to you and turn it around. Check out Inanimate Beauty, Stone Gallery, 70 Pearse Street, Dublin 2. The exhibition runs until 17th July. Here are some pics from the launch night...

Humans of New York

Soo many good pics and captions with Humans of New York but I do like these... "I just saw the worst movie. It was called Jack And The Something Slayer. If I can stop one child from seeing that vile thing, I'll be happy." "I'm 94 years old." "Any life advice?" "Yeah. Mind your own business." Mary is 93 years old. We spoke for less than two minutes. After I took her photo, she said: "If you force yourself to go outside, something wonderful always happens!" New life motto.
