FOREWORD "Michael Flahery 2008"

“With his Spring 2008 collection at the Kilcock Gallery, Michael Flaherty’s paintings emerge from the sub strata of gouged out shadows and imploding layers to embrace explosive distant horizons and heights as they awaken the Spring.

Flaherty’s new collection plays with a palette that’s light in tone but nonetheless vigorous and searching. He creates a maelstrom of contrasting, often clashing colours, which blend to make strange yet compatible bed fellows. The viewer is invited to dive into the energy of an impulsive Atlantic swell or meditate on the gentle whisperings of the sea’s ebbing shore.

Flaherty’s painterly signature is evident: his representations of Irish skies, ever changing, commanding and multi-dimensional.
His wildflower paintings, with wind blowing through foliage capture resilient life forces.
True to his oeuvre, Flaherty pays homage to Ireland’s precious rural landscape, West and South. Not for him the scurrying consumerism of our age. He takes time to walk the land, to mind–map neglected and unexplored places. He playfully reveals majestic, ancient forms and shapes, reminding us of what we have forgotten. We are invited to stop and absorb the energy of these works, feel the illuminating light and visit these hidden rural spaces and proud places.

His fearless visual mastery of the country’s wilder outcrops confirms his unique and constant place among Ireland’s outstanding artists.”
