UHG exhibitions as part of Arts Festival

Two exhibitions are taking place at UHG as part of Galway Arts Festival. On Paper, an exhibition by Kathleen Furey and The Night Scene Series by Levi Hanes are on display in the Foyer, Arts Corridor and First Floor of UHG and presented by Galway University Hospitals Arts Trust.

Galway woman Kathleen Furey is a founder member of the artists’ collective, Artspace Studios.   She studied painting at the Limerick School of Art and Design, graduating in 1984.  Her work responds to her experiences and surroundings.  It explores narrative and relationships, and deals with loss, memory and moments of realisation.  Kathleen works in a variety of media including gouache, acrylic, crayon, graphite and printmaking inks on board and paper.  Her work has been exhibited both at home and abroad and is included in public and private collections. 

Levi Hanes was born in the United States in 1977.  He completed his MFA at the Glasgow School of Art in 2008 and now lives and works between Galway and Glasgow.  The Night Scene Series is part of an ongoing project exploring light and abstraction through digital photography and painting.  The paintings in this show are from images taken during walks, drives and flights to and from Ireland.  The subject is partly the night landscapes defined by artificial light and quiet contemplation as well as the flattening of the images through digital photography and the implication of depth through oil painting.
