Cobh native, Eithne Twomey, presents a group of paintings created from photographs of Cork Harbour and Cobh. “These paintings reflect a journey through paint of images of a landscape I grew up in and still have a hankering for”.
Eithne paints directly from photos or collages made up of photographic imagery and other found materials. Pattern, colour, light and shadow all play an important role in the development of these collages which become the basis for the paintings. The process of assembling the collage is driven by a particular sense of light, place and mood.
“My aim is to create an intricate, shadowy space which can be read simultaneously as both highly descriptive and abstract.”
Eithne Twomey grew up in Cobh and went to the Crawford School of Art, Cork where she studied Fine Art and Ceramics. She moved to London in the eighties and has been painting for the last five years.
