Glen

80 × 80cm, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas
(88 × 88cm framed)

“The still, deep cup of the wilderness is potent with wisdom. Only to have tasted it is to have moved a lifetime forward to a finer youth.”
Rockwell Kent, Wilderness (1920)

Created as part of Kevin Lowery’s LAND’S END - An Artist’s Journey to Glenlough 100 Years After Rockwell Kent exhibition, Glen is a tribute to Kent’s painting of the same name, inspired by the monumental sea cliffs and untamed Atlantic landscape of County Donegal. The work reflects Kevin’s experience of travelling through and painting a landscape shaped by exposure, isolation and continually changing weather.

The exhibition runs at the Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny, from October 3 to November 14, and paintings will be available for collection or delivery after the end of the exhibition.
