    Dave Walsh’s The Cold Edge at The Copperhouse Gallery, Dublin

    COLD EDGE DAVE WALSHIf you haven’t popped along to The Copper House Gallery to see The Cold Edge yet, I would recommend that you do.

    Dave Walsh is a polar photographer, writer and activist and took these beautiful shots while he was in the Arctic and the Antarctic. The exhibition is running until September 29th and are breathtakingly beautiful. They possess beautiful colours and are quite alien really to what we would see every day.

    I was lucky enough to chat to Dave on Culture Cafe last week, you can listen to our chat on the podcast, it starts 12mins 15secs in.

    The exhibition has been described as ‘ethereal photographs of the unforgiving wilderness, wild animals and blue icebergs question our romantic relationship with remote, harsh and pristine environments. The images resonate with a quiet tension; all may not be right in the Garden of Eden.’

    Check it out, there’s even a photograph of the Doomsday vault !

  • ReViewedOn Wednesday evening last I had the pleasure of going along to the opening of Seán Hillen‘s new exhibition, ReViewed at The Copper House Gallery in Synge Street in Dublin. For those of you who are familiar with Seán’s work, you probably would recognize some or all of these pieces.

    Alongside Les and Maureen Wolnich and their team in The Copper House Gallery, Sean has scanned his pieces to a large format scale. As Sean’s pieces are normally quite small, details which were easily missed, can now be seen. Sean has previously worked in his photo collage style on small scale formats but seeing them like this shows the precision, including jagged edges and an occasional cut too far and amount of time and work that went into the original pieces. This really has given these pieces a second life. (more…)
