The Doorway Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition space on 25 South Frederick Street, Dublin 2. This new gallery space will feature, a new artist each week, and this week we are featuring Kate Beagan “For the last several years I have been fascinated with the landscape of my home county. I was born and raised in Monaghan and while I’ve lived large portions of my life outside of it, I find myself being drawn back. The entire county is criss-crossed with narrow roads that never seem to end, they are always meandering, always leading you to some small unseen part of the world. It has taken me quite some time to understand why I continually return to painting these roads After all, I have travelled these for many years, in my childhood and then in raising my family, travelling the same roads but each time as a different person. They have seen me at every stage, at every point in my life, be it school runs, coffee with friends, weddings, funerals, and everything in between. I have been on them in good times and in bad and all those times where nothing happened. They are the everyday constant that above all the large moments in life can hold the most beauty. Seeing the light dapple through the leaves can remind you of what an extreme privilege it is to be.
