Grad Show revisited

I went back to the Grad Show at the National Art School but this time at an off-peak hour and with a different friend. I snapped a few photos of favourites, but didn’t include here all the artists I like.

Above are Amy Wei Na’s paintings, they’re delightful done in a hyper-realist style and with a limited palette.

Above is Camille Olsen-Ormandy’s ‘The Dog Lover’ which is small and precise but with a great sense of humour.

Above is Luis Greene’s ‘Pop Candy’ which has a title that says it all, loved the contrast between the coloured sections and the sections in black and white.

Above is Shelley Bowles’ ‘Diaphanous in flight’ which is striking not only because of xthe design but because of the colours. It’s a Day-Glo world.

Above is Adele Warner’s ‘241humanhair’ done in oil on canvas, a striking and inventive way to approach a series of complex subjects. I thought that a lot went into this painting, and not only in terms of the time spent at work.
