Opens 2pm, 9th of October at The Kildare Gallery
‘Gyre’ is a series of paintings that offset depictions of the human body against the spiral marks made by the movement of two connected pendulums. The pendulums are swung at divergent amplitudes, converting potential energy to kinetic energy which eventually discharges as thermal energy. The paintings can be considered as a meditation on the body and its relationship to time and on the body as a place of energy transformations. We are all involved in a tragic enterprise, biologically vulnerable and essentially entropic.
The exhibition will continue until Sunday 31st October.
