About my work on show
Exhibition comprises of two bodies of work.Works completed during my residency at The Cill Rialaig Project Co Kerry - Ireland (2008) which is a set of 10 works on paper (16" x 20") plus 6 works from the series ‘Tamh Lacht – The Wall’ (2011).
This body of work is centred around where I went to school as a child and its place in history which is largely not known or appreciated by its current population.
Tallaght (Tamh - Lacht in Irish) was a village when I was a child. It’s now a large new town with a tram system linking it to Dublin City Centre; Ireland. It was only when I researched Tallaght’s history that I appreciated its significance in Ireland's history, its monastery and place in the Celtic Church plus its importance as a centre for European learning is largely forgotten. Perhaps my exhibition would be a catalyst for artists and residents in their place - to research their Town / City and its History and realise its History! As I did when researching and painting "Tamh-Lacht The Wall". Tallaght's history informed this body of work.
The series comprises a set of 14 canvas's (each 48"high x 30"wide) from which six works are on show.
See "Artist Derek Culley - You Tube" an interview given by me in RUA/RED Gallery Tallaght - Dublin during my exhibition of "Tamh-Lacht - The Wall" in July 2011.
