Brendan Flaherty

Pallas Contemporary Projects, Dublin

Magic Drawings in the Womb of the Living Earth

Brendan Flaherty is concerned with the reasons for making art. He explores a continuous lineage of image making from prehistoric cave painting right through to modern graphic production, Employing a palette of vibrant and unnatural colours Brendan inserts characters liberated from pictorial history into newly invented stages and scenarios where visual genres jostle and collide.

Flaherty explains his intentions in his new exhibition, ‘Much of the work in the exhibition references real and imagined spaces. They are not intended as representations of reality, however, the purpose of the paintings is to serve as an opening into a place that echoes reality, but with a heightened sense of drama and romance.’

Pallas Contemporary Projects focuses on the exchange of Irish and international artists with a strong conceptual approach working in different media. PCP is also a proving ground for young and emerging artists, offering a space to experiment and take risks with their practice. Brendan Flaherty is the second emerging Irish artist to feature at the new programme at Pallas Contemporary Projects.

Since graduating from NCAD in 2005 with a first class honours degree Brendan Flaherty has exhibited widely around Ireland, including EV+A and Belltable Arts Centre in Limerick, chq in Dublin, The Granary, Waterford, Ard Bia, Galway and the Form Gallery in Cork.
