KINVARA based painter and sculptor Joe McCaul will be bringing a selection of unseen works to KAVA Courthouse in Kinvara in an exhibition entitled “Unfiltered”.
Speaking about the inspiration behind this showcase Joe said, “As time has passed and age has created a huge awareness of my mortality, I feel the necessity to be honest with myself, through showing this work”.
The selected paintings are a powerful and emotional response to happenings that have taken place in Ireland throughout his lifetime. The scale of the paintings is large and imposing, adding to the impact of each story.
This exhibition is searching and heart-felt in its execution. From the artist who created the harrowing “Potato People, the story of the Irish Famine in clay”, Joe McCaul has shown yet again, he does not shy away from difficult and disturbing subjects.
A smaller exhibition, titled “Where we live…in paint” shows some of Joe’s landscape paintings, and raku fired figurative sculptures in Siar Café, Kinvara.
“Unfiltered” showing in KAVA Courthouse Kinvara, opening Wednesday 16 April- Sunday 27 April, 11-5pm.
