Margaret McLoughlin’s Peat Path
We are delighted to announce the opening of Margaret McLoughlin’s third solo exhibition in the Original Print Gallery, which previews on Thursday April 16th 2009.
This new body of work by Margaret McLoughlin conjures up the isolation and desolation of a forest landscape. The power of the elements is seen in the fallen trees, the broken branches and the windswept plain. This constant natural regeneration bears witness to the passing of time. Remnants of man-made structures evoke our fleeting presence on the landscape. McLoughlin uses carborundum and drypoint to convey the rich colours and textures of this wet peaty landscape. In a new departure for McLoughlin, this exhibition includes oils on canvas affording the artist a new domain to explore.
The exhibition continues until May 8th.
