About the Artist(s) and the Exhibition...

Our Current Exhibition is ‘Journey Through Disorder’ by Imelda Reynolds

Her solo show in the River Run Gallery is based on her travels with her easel, paints and camera, through gardens and fields, capturing on canvas sensitive landscapes with their lively sense of colour. However, the collection entitled ‘Journey Through Disorder’ is very, very different from Imelda’s previous work, for this is a time of reinvention and re-evaluation in her life..

Free-form compositions of coloured glass and other natural textures have emerged from energetic improvisations between the artist and her palette. She equates intense colour with emotion and improvisation with freedom. Her work now is lighter and more detached. It is adventurous, bold, vivid, emotional and serene. Each piece is a snapshot of the artists journey through disorder. Under the auspice of all this chaos, lies an urgent need to understand and resolve. To find Japanese Anenomepeace.

Born in Dublin, Imelda Reynolds has been painting for over twenty years. An energetic artist who enjoys creating individual pieces in collaboration with her clients.
Some of Imelda’s recent work is based on movement and through the use of coloured glass fragments, she focuses energy into the centre of the work. Describing her working method she says "I begin with an initial interaction with tactile materials, and then allow my work to evolve and develop its own integrity.

"For as long as I can remember I have always felt a natural impulse to depict what I see, to reflect my experiences pictorially and to give visual expression to my emotions. Over the years my work has evolved and developed its own integrity and I have become more interested in the concept of making art through the use of non paint related materials. These materials allow me the freedom to direct all my attention and energy to the most important part of my works, expressions of my ideas thoughts and emotions. every material has a different temperament and and i am not afraid to use intense colour and textures to radiate energy and emotions in my compositions and the rest is over to you sam I am mostly self taught but did attend classes by kenneth Webb who taught me how to handle some textures. I have work in large private collection both in ireland and abroad."
