Two Exhibitions

Irish Museum of Modern Art - IMMA, Dublin

Gerda Frömel, A Retrospective

An incredibly well regarded artist during her lifetime, her work is no longer well known and has not been on exhibition since a 1976 retrospective at the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, Dublin the year after her untimely death. This exhibition seeks to bring new work to light and to reinstate Frömel as a modern Irish master. This exhibition will tour to F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studios, Co. Down.

This exhibition will be the first contemporary retrospective of Gerda Frömel, an artist who was born in Czechoslovakia in 1931 as the daughter of German parents but who moved to Ireland in 1956. She first exhibited in the Irish Exhibition of Living Art in 1957, an association which continued till 1975. She exhibited at several other prestigious exhibitions during her career including the Dawson Gallery and the 1970 Oireachtas Art Exhibition. She took several commissions including the well-known piece for P.J.Carroll and Son, Dundalk, (now Dundalk Institute of Technology) and also worked in stained glass for churches in Ireland and Germany.

Diogo Pimentão : Disequilibrium Displacement

This will be the first major Irish solo exhibition of Portuguese artist Diogo Pimentão. Timed to coincide with Gerda Frömel, Diogo’s practice seeks to open the horizon of the drawing and its conventions to other dimensions, other processes and other tools. The act of drawing involves a relationship with him close to the body choreography, which determines the scale of the work: papers mechanically bent by hand to the major compounds of monochrome black lines drawn by the body in motion
